Dr. Vince Kokich ~ Special Offering Treating the “Damaged” Incisor: Forced Eruption, Decoronation, or Controlled Extraction? Patients will occasionally have accidents that traumatize their maxillary incisors.
In some cases a traumatic blow will result in a subgingival root fracture. When this occurs, the dental team must choose the appropriate treatment plan. If the root was fractured, is root canal therapy always necessary? Could a tooth with a fractured root be moved orthodontically? If the fracture results in separation of the crown from the root, could the root be erupted orthodontically and restored? What parameters should the team evaluate prior to forced eruption? If forced eruption were inappropriate, and an implant is planned for the site, should decoronation be attempted to preserve the bone for the eventual implant? If so, when and how? If decoronation were not advisable, could orthodontic controlled extraction be used to develop the implant site? What are the indications for controlled extraction? Does it always work? In this in-‐depth web-‐based seminar Dr. Vincent Kokich, Sr. will use several clinical examples to answer all of these important questions. At the conclusion of this course, attendees will be able to:
1. Learn how to diagnose which root fractures have a favorable prognosis. 2. Understand the six criteria that favor forced eruption and restoration. 3. Know whether the eruption should be rapid or slow. 4. Recognize when decoronation is an appropriate solution to preserve bone 5. Learn the four criteria that favor controlled extraction for site development
