An Alternative Method of Space Closure: The Hycon DeviceRICHARD P. MCLAUGHLIN DDS, ANMOL S. KALHA OSRE, BSC, BDS, MDS, WINFRIED SCHUETZ DMDIn the standard edgewise technique, space closure is usually performed with closing-loop arches rather than sliding mechanics. This is primarily because of the friction created by 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-... |
