Abstract
Objectives
Forced eruption is a conservative and minimally invasive technique used to preserve and restore natural teeth, especially when traditional crown lengthening or implant surgery may not be appropriate. Its clinical applications span various restorative and implant-related scenarios, offering a biologically friendly alternative that maintains tooth structure and supports surrounding tissues.
Material and Methods
This article presents a comprehensive review of the literature on forced eruption. Over 50 relevant articles were identified through systematic searches in scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. These findings demonstrate that forced eruption is effectively used for managing subgingival lesions, root fractures, implant site development, and impacted teeth. Clinically, the technique promotes favorable esthetic and functional outcomes by preserving the biological width, enhancing soft and hard tissue profiles, and minimizing the need for invasive surgical interventions. Reported complications are minimal and primarily mechanical in nature, with no significant adverse effects observed on the pulp or surrounding soft tissues. Compared with crown lengthening, forced eruption is less invasive, more predictable, and better preserves dental anatomy, making it a suitable option for patients with systemic limitations or poor prognoses.
Conclusions
Based on a thorough review of the literature, forced eruption is confirmed to be a reliable, minimally invasive, and tissue-preserving method for managing complex restorative and implant cases. Successful outcomes depend on precise case selection, careful biomechanical planning, and controlled force application.
