A string of pearls.

Most complex interdisciplinary rehabilitative dental cases are associated with tooth eruption due to excessive wear or missing occlusal contacts. As the teeth erupt, the osseous tissues and dentogingival complex extrude with the tooth. Historically, prosthetic treatment demanded placing crowns on short teeth, functional crown lengthening onto root surfaces, or orthognathic surgery to impact teeth. This article will present a more current approach to the treatment of dentoalveolar extrusion.
