[Anterior tooth injury/anterior tooth loss--the epidemiological and orthodontic aspects].

Trauma to incisors, especially loss of permanent anterior teeth, often effects aesthetics, function, psychology and phonetics. The following article describes the frequency, cause and effect of incisors lost as a result of the trauma. The treatment possibilities are discussed with respect to the specific orthodontic considerations. In addition, the indications for space closure by orthodontic or prosthetic procedures are discussed.

[Technology and progress in orthodontics].

As in other areas of dentistry, too, technological progress has resulted in new developments for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in orthodontics. The use of new technologies is focussed on two main areas: the use of new materials and methods in the treatment with fixed appliances, and the use of electronic data processing in diagnosis, particularly in cephalometry.

[Forensic problems in extractions by the genral dentist on orders by the orthodontist].

The dentist in a general practice usually carries out extractions ordered by the patient's orthodontist. While the specialist establishes the indications, the extraction is performed by a collegue who is not subject to instructions. The dentist doing the extraction therefore assumes responsibility for the procedure. If the orthodontist's order is incorrect or misleading, not only the orthodontist but also the dentist extracting the tooth or teeth may be held responsible for any errors. A number of safety measures built into the communication between the two therapists would help to avoid unnecessary or incorrect extraction teeth.
