ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) commonly occurs in the anterior region and is associated with periodontal disease. The treatment of PTM of anterior teeth can be complex and time consuming, and a multidisciplinary approach is often required. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a chief complaint of saving and realigning her elongated maxillary left central incisor. This paper describes the successful combined periodontal regenerative (guided tissue regeneration) and prosthetic treatment and a 2-year follow-up of maxillary central incisor with pathologic tooth migration, deep intrabony defect, and poor prognosis.RESULTS:
The right maxillary central incisor was restored by laminate veneer and the left by all-ceramic crown. The patient had no pain and discomfort and was satisfied with the outcomes of her treatment for 2 years. She has maintained her recall program at the Department of Periodontology at 3 months interval.CONCLUSION:
The key step in the successful treatment of PTM in anterior region is to obtain a high level of cooperation from the patient. Maintenance of the treatment result of PTM is dependent on the continuous preservation of periodontal health.
