I have to admit my mistake. Intrusion is completely contraindicated here, and Olga is right, it is one of the most difficult tooth movements. What I was talking about is EXtrusion, wich would lenghten the crown.
Since we have limited access to patients data, it is quite hard to say what it is to be done. Without examining the patient, professional pictures, cephs and other data one can only list options. Explaining options to the patient is a part of an informed consent, something not practiced in СНГ eather. It is up to the dental team and the patient herself to decide. Surgery is indeed sometimes the best solution.
I'm glad we can discuss cases here, it's a fun way to learn.
