Case report demonstrates effective tooth extrusion and endodontic retreatment, indicating successful aesthetic restoration.
In the practice of a dentist, there are often contentious situations where it is necessary to choose a treatment strategy that provides the greatest benefit while minimizing costs for the patient. In extreme cases, when a patient presents with a nearly complete loss of the crown, even an experienced clinician may question the feasibility of preserving the tooth. This article presents a clinical case of comprehensive treatment of a patient using the concept of tooth extrusion—turbo-extrusion—in an aesthetically important area, employing orthodontic materials, followed by endodontic retreatment, preparation, and fixation of a ceramic prosthesis. After conducting a literature review, it was concluded that careful diagnostics and rational treatment planning can yield stable clinical outcomes, including tooth preservation, achieving the desired architecture of the marginal gingiva, and restoring aesthetic parameters.
