Aim: This case series was to describe the use of surgical extrusion for three different cases as a technique to re-establish the biological width in patients with insufficient crown height.
Background: Surgical extrusion serves as an important means to reestablishing a proper biological width. Such method provides an excellent alternative for the restoration of teeth with insufficient ferrule and ensuring a suitable dental restoration.
Cases descriptions: This case series describes the management of three different cases with compromised teeth #25, #35, and #44, respectively. The approach involved the surgical extrusion of the compromised sites from subgingival to supragingival and the splinting of the teeth using a semi-rigid splint. A successful prognosis was observed on follow-up visits.
Conclusion: This technique is a good alternative for general practitioners because of its easy implementation and time efficiency. In addition, the method requires less equipment and provides for adequate space for the re-establishment of biological width.
Clinical significance: Such technique can re-establish a healthy biological width, the existing occlusion can be maintained without alterations, and it demonstrated the suitability of surgical extrusion technique in such clinical situations. Case selection is equally important. Cases with single-rooted teeth with fractures or caries in proximity to the marginal bone level without vertical root fractures generally provide positive outcomes on providing this treatment.
