Conclusion:
It took a lot of patience to treat this case. It is worth trying to save any tooth. Worst-case
scenario, the tooth would have been extracted but bone would have been preserved in the process.
We were fortunate that root resorption was minimal and bone was preserved. The patient very
much appreciated having his natural tooth during adolescence. Mom is now starting orthodontic
treatment! ■

Very nice. I agree that you have little to lose and much to gain with this approach. Do you
have any progress photos showing the bulge of the crown on the gingiva? It is a great service to
the kid and his family. I suspect that many orthos would not attempt this. I think it is always
worth a shot as long as the risks are relatively low and understood by all.
I used similar reasoning when using guided eruption of a horizontally impacted lower canine
crossing the midline. Although there was risk of resorbing the roots of the incisors, I felt the
benefit outweighed the risk and was always ready to extract if that became an issue. Attached
gingiva was not ideal, but far better to have graft rather than implant.
Another point is the treatment fee. It is difficult to charge appropriately in cases like this. I
only add $500-$1,000 to the fee-not enough to really compensate for the time, but due to the
uncertainty I think it is reasonable. If successful, the goodwill generated with the family and
dentist should make up for the time invested. ■

Great case. As we have turned our attention to 12-month-and-less treatment times, this reminds
us that there are plenty of these types out there. I have had many discussions with orthos who
would just ext. We have many like this all taking several years to complete. This reminds us also
that our profession needs to see young patients for recall and early panos to catch these things. ■
