Treatment of a Class II Division 2 malocclusion with space reopening for a single-tooth implant.

This case report describes the treatment of an adolescent girl with a skeletal Class II Division 2 malocclusion and impinging overbite. One of 2 previously extracted premolars had to be replaced by a single-tooth implant after adequate space reopening. An optimal overbite-overjet relationship was achieved through significant intrusion and proclination of maxillary and mandibular incisors. A horizontally impacted mandibular second molar was repositioned to ensure a 2-molar arch integrity. Resolution of the gingival smile line and favorable facial changes were also obtained.

Management of missing maxillary lateral incisors.

BACKGROUND: Missing maxillary lateral incisors create an esthetic problem with specific orthodontic and prosthetic considerations. The purpose of this article is to describe treatment protocols and problems encountered in the management of this disorder. CASE DESCRIPTION: The two common treatment options are orthodontic space opening for future restorations or orthodontic space closure using canines to replace the missing maxillary lateral incisors. The required amount of space opening and the various prosthetic options are discussed. The methods for reshaping canines in orthodontic space closure and building them up to simulate lateral incisors also are described. The indications, advantages and disadvantages of both treatment modalities are outlined to help clinicians make decisions in borderline situations. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Teamwork between the orthodontist, general practitioner and restorative dentist is important when analyzing factors related to individual patients and establishing overall treatment plans. This also will allow treatment modalities and the various options for replacing missing maxillary lateral incisors in space opening to be discussed between team members and the patient.

[Crown lengthening by orthodontic extrusion. Principles and technics].

Forced Eruption by orthodontic means is an effective way of managing subgingival caries and root fractures at the level of the osseous crest or below. It allows the dentist to construct restorations on otherwise hopeless teeth and maintains the biologic distance between the apical portion of the junctional epithelium and the alveolar crest.
