Atraumatic Maxillary Canine Root Repositioning as an Alternative to Orthodontic Forced Eruption: A Case Report.

Preservation of natural teeth in the anterior region is often preferred over replacement with dental implants due to functional and esthetic considerations. Although orthodontic extrusion preserves soft tissue architecture, it may not be suitable in all cases. Atraumatic extrusion using minimally invasive extraction systems allows controlled coronal repositioning of teeth while preserving periodontal structures. This case report presents the clinical application of atraumatic root repositioning of a maxillary canine as an alternative to orthodontic forced eruption. The findings suggest that this technique can facilitate restoration, reduce treatment morbidity, and promote favorable biological healing in selected cases.
