Scope note: Técnica que combina TÉCNICAS DE MOVIMIENTO DENTARIO eruptivo controlado con la incisión de las uniones gingivales por encima de la cresta para permitir la restauración de la corona dental dañada o destruida. La erupción controlada de un diente se obtiene utilizando APARATOS ORTODÓNCICOS. Durante esta fase eruptiva, se hacen incisiones repetidas en el epitelio de unión del surco y el tejido conectivo de la zona supracrestal para evitar el desplazamiento coronal de la encía y del aparato de unión.

Scope note: Technique combining controlled eruptive TOOTH MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES and incision of the supracrestal gingival attachment to allow for proper restoration of a destroyed or damaged crown of a tooth. Controlled eruption of the tooth is obtained using ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES. During this eruptive phase, repeated incisions are made at the junctional epithelium of the sulcus and the supracrestal connective tissue to prevent coronal displacement of the gingiva and of the attachment apparatus.
