Loss of tooth structure in the esthetic region is a big challenge for restorative dentist as it not only involves the establishment of tooth structure but also complies microesthetics. If the tooth structure is lost near the gingival margin, then the periodontal aspect cannot be overlooked. Surgical crown lengthening and orthodontic extrusion of the remaining tooth structure are two possible treatment modalities for such cases. Which one is best suited depends on the indications for each procedure. This study reports an orthodontic extrusion for the restoration of fractured upper canine. Preference of crown lengthening by orthodontic extrusion over surgical crown lengthening is clarified along the case discussion.
