Patient: The patient was a 63-year-old female who visited our hospital with the chief complaint of occlusal pain in the maxillary right central incisor. In addition, the maxillary right lateral incisor was fitted with an ill-fitting crown prosthesis. In this case, esthetic prosthetic treatment was performed after preprosthetic treatment for each tooth.
Discussion: In both 1| and 2|, there was insufficient residual tooth structure. 1|: Orthodontic extrusion and crown lengthening procedures were performed as preprosthetic treatment followed by prosthetic treatment. 2|: Surgical extrusion was performed as preprosthetic treatment followed by prosthetic treatment. Good results were achieved by performing preprosthetic treatment and securing residual tooth structure on the gingiva before performing prosthetic treatment.
Conclusion: Favorable treatment results were obtained by performing prosthetic treatment after preprosthetic treatment according to the clinical purpose.
