Description
Summary:Surgical extrusion should be considered as an alternative treatment in patients with structurally compromised teeth that retain coronal integrity and have favorable root anatomy.

A situation in which it was used to treat a maxillary premolar with substantial structural loss but well-preserved periodontal attachment is presented. The biologically oriented preparation technique is a conservative method of tooth restoration.
