Orthodontic forced eruption, a conservative and biologically favorable technique, enables clinical crown lengthening and implant site development without compromising periodontal structures. It is especially valuable in managing subgingival lesions, insufficient ferrule, or non-restorable teeth by repositioning them coronally while preserving bone and gingival integrity. Unlike resective surgeries, forced eruption maintains crown-root ratio and adjacent tooth stability, offering superior aesthetic outcomes. The technique requires thorough case selection, optimal biomechanical force control, and often interdisciplinary coordination. While effective in both vital and endodontically treated teeth, contraindications include ankylosis, inflammation, and root fractures. Despite promising results, long-term stability and evidence-based protocols remain inadequately explored, necessitating further research to define its role in periodontal-restorative and implant rehabilitation frameworks.
