Abstract

The conservation of teeth can involve the many facets of restorative dentistry in an attempt to retain both functional and aesthetic demands. This case report chronicles the management of a patient presenting with several traumatized teeth, which progressed through orthograde endodontics, periodontal crown-lengthening procedures, crown placement, surgical endodontics with attempted guided tissue regeneration, to eventual tooth extraction and replacement with osseointegrated implants.
