Forced eruption without orthodontic brackets using fiber reinforced composite prostheses: a case report.

Maintenance of periodontal health is one of the most important factors governing success of the restoration and longevity of teeth. For proper maintenance of periodontal health, the biologic width functions as a protective barrier against the entrance of microorganisms in to the internal medium of the periodontal ligament and osseous connective tissue. This clinical case describes a technique to reestablish the biologic width surrounding a fractured central incisor by forced eruption without orthodontic brackets, using fibre reinforced composite prostheses. Main advantages of using fibre reinforced composite prostheses are aesthetic maintenance during the treatment period, no need for occlusal adjustments, simplicity, low cost, and stability.
