Introduction
Orthodontic extrusion/ forced eruption is a well documented clinical method for altering the relation between a non restorable tooth and its attachment apparatus, elevating sound tooth material from within the alveolar socket[1],[2],[3]. It has some advantages over surgical crown lengthening, which is less conservative considering the sacrifice of supporting bone and the negative change in the length of the clinical crowns of the tooth and its neighbors[4], [5].
Case Report - 1
A 20 year boy reported to the Department of Conservative and Endodontics, 6 months after trauma to anterior teeth due to road side accident leading to its fracture.
Clinical Examination
Crown fractures were seen with 21, 22,31,32,41. Ellis class III fracture of 21, 22. Incomplete treatment of lower anterior teeth was found. Access opening along with crown preparation seen in relation to 31, 32, 41(Fig. 1a). Ellis class II fracture in relation to 42. Vitality test of 11 was performed and reported to show delayed response. There was no mobility of any of the teeth. IOPA in relation to 21, 22 (Fig. 1b) showed incomplete obturation and 41,31,32 showed no obturation. On the basis of clinical and radiographic findings following treatment plan was made and patients consent was taken,

Endodontic therapy for 11,31,32,41. Re RCT for 21,22. Modified Post and core for Orthodontic extrusion of 21 (Fig. 1c). Composite build up for 42. All ceramic crown in relation to 21,22,31,32,41 (Fig. 1 d, e).

Case Report - 2
An 18 year boy reported to the Department of Conservative and Endodontics, 2 years after trauma to maxillary tooth -22 due to road side accident leading to its fracture and intrusion.
Clinical Examination
Ellis class II fracture at the middle third in relation to 22 (Fig. 2a). The gingival around the intruded tooth was normal and well contoured. There was no mobility of any of the teeth. Vitality test was done for 22 and it showed no response. IOPA Radiograph showed calcified root canal in relation to 22 (Fig. 2b). On the basis of clinical and radiographic findings following treatment plan was made, Orthodontic extrusion of 22 (Fig. 2c) and then Composite build up was done. The treatment plan and time required for the treatment was explained to the patients consent was taken. Post operative photograph showed an esthetic smile (Fig. 2d).

Conclusion
We report these cases of Interdisciplinary approach between orthodontist and restorative dentist. The careful integration of multiple specialists suggests the possibility of optimal results with high predictability[6],[7],[8].
