A Novel Digital Approach for Forced Eruption

Forced eruption of an impacted tooth necessitates a firm and versatile attachment for force application. The present article describes a simple modification of NiTi closed coil spring called W spring for predictable forced eruption of impacted teeth.

Forced Eruption

(1) Background: To assess orthodontic forced eruption (OFE) as a pre-restorative procedure for non-restorable permanent teeth with subgingival dental hard tissue defects after dental trauma. (2) Methods: A systematic electronic search of three databases, namely, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE, revealed a total of 2757 eligible publications. Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT), retro- and prospective clinical studies, or case series (with a minimum of three patients) were reviewed. (3) Results: Thirteen full-text papers were included: one RCT, one prospective clinical trial, two retrospective cohort studies, and nine case series. Within case series, statistical significance between age and cause of fracture (p < 0.03) was determined. The mean extrusion rate of OFE was 1.5 mm a week within a four to six weeks treatment period followed by retention. Three OFE protocols for maxillary single teeth are available: 1. OFE without migration of gingiva and alveolar bone, 2. OFE with gingival migration and slight alveolar bone migration, and 3. OFE with migration of both gingiva and alveolar bone. (4) Conclusions: The current state of the evidence suggests that OFE is a feasible pre-treatment option for non-restorable permanent teeth. OFE can promote the migration of tooth surrounding hard and soft tissues in the esthetic zone. Root resorption does not seem to be a relevant side effect of OFE.

Summary Objective To investigate the effects of orthodontic forced eruption (OFE) with the straight-wire appliance in the dimensions of the alveolar process when used for extracting compromised maxillary anterior teeth and implant site development. Material and Methods Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 7 patients needing extraction of 17 maxillary anterior teeth were obtained before and immediately after OFE. Alveolar plate height and thickness measurements were performed on the buccal and palatal socket walls in CBCT sagittal cross sections. Statistical analysis included sample size calculation, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon test to evaluate alveolar plate dimensional changes and linear regression analysis to assess whether bone changes and the feasibility of implant insertion were associated to tooth type and root length, baseline alveolar plate thickness, and age. Results OFE caused statistically significant reduction of the buccal alveolar plate height (1.95 ± 1.83 mm) and significant increase of the palatal alveolar plate height (1.31 ± 2.41 mm) in the central tooth socket areas. Buccal reduction was associated positively to the baseline root length and negatively to the thickness of the corresponding plate in the apical level. A non-significant increase was noted in both buccal (0.23 ± 0.93 mm) and palatal (0.63 ± 1.59 mm) proximal bone. Inadequate buccal bone support hindered immediate implant placement in six sockets; however, all inserted implants showed adequate and gradually increasing stability from insertion to final restoration. Conclusions OFE resulted in favourable increase in the heights of the palatal and proximal alveolar bone and significant reduction in the buccal plate height, which inhibited implant placement in 35% of the treated sockets.
