Sometimes a maxillary permanent first molar, erupts mesially and causes both resorption on primary second molar and uncompletion its eruption. Consequently, this will end up early loss of primary second molar and loss of space in the arch length. It has been suggested several methods for ectopic eruption treatment. In this article, we would like to advocate an appliance which is simple, effective and easy to fabricate for early treatment of ectopic eruption.

An experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of two different interproximal carving methods of class II amalgam restorations is described. The results showed Deppeler HZ8 carving instrument was more effective than dental floss in preventing overhangs at the restoration's gingival margin.
A proper restoration of the interproximal space is one of the most important goals of the operative dentistry. The Authors after a critical review of periodontal injuries caused by poor filling and carving methods, suggest the operative procedures directed to a proper interproximal contour of the class 2 amalgam restorations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the morphologic and dimensional changes of lower arch that might occur in patients undergoing treatment with the lip-bumper. After a brief examination of the clinical applications of lip-bumper, we report the results of a research concerning 20 children in the mixed dentition period. The effect of this simple orthodontic appliance has been an expansion of the mandibular dental arch, with a real increase of arch length and transverse dimension. Therefore the lip-bumper can be used in non-extraction treatment of malocclusion, in order to obtain a space recovery in lower arch.
Changes in the mandibular arch were evaluated in 32 cases of lower first premolar extraction without appliance therapy. There was a mean reduction in the irregularity index and extraction space of 52 percent and 45 percent respectively. Intercanine distance increased in 65 percent of the cases whilst intermolar distance decreased in 63 percent of the cases. Clinical improvement in the crowding of lower incisors and closure of the extraction space was contributed by the distal movement of the canines and the mesial movement of the molars.

The author focused his attention on orthodontic adjustment of the consequences of loss of the first permanent molars, a frequent complication during dental treatment. After evaluation of the results he concludes that by treatment with fixed appliances he achieved more reliable results within a shorter time than by removable appliances which were ineffective in many patients.
