Teeth in cross-bite: the role of removable appliances.

The role of removable appliances with springs for the treatment of teeth in anterior and posterior cross-bite is discussed. The indications for their use (that is, case selection), and their manipulation are examined. Cases are presented where removable appliances are the appliances of choice in the first stage of the correction of a posterior cross-bite, the final treatment being completed with fixed appliances. The ease of correcting and retaining various maxillary teeth which may be in cross-bite is discussed.

Ankylosis of permanent teeth: a case report and literature review.

A case report describing an ankylosed permanent maxillary canine which was brought into the arch by a combination of surgery and orthodontics is used as a basis to review the literature concerning many aspects of the management of ankylosed permanent teeth. The literature indicates surgical luxation is a two edged sword, that is, it may cause ankylosis if used with surgical exposures but it can also be the only means of treating ankylosis. The treatment of the canine which is the subject of this case report resulted in damage to the tooth. Vanarsdall's recent contributions in this field are detailed.
