The technique of forced eruption accompanied by fibrotomy enabled the roots to be elongated by ca. 4 mm without apposition of alveolar bone. This permitted restoration with physiologic gingival conditions, eliminating the need for surgical crown lengthening with marginal ostectomy or tooth extraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
