The Biocreative Strategy Part 5: Labial and Lingual Space Closure in Extraction Treatment

SEONG-HUN KIM DMD, MSD, PhD, KI-HO PARK DMD, MS, PhD, MIN-KI NOH DMD, MS, PhD, KYU-RHIM CHUNG DMD, MSD, PhD, GERALD NELSON DDS

Space closure in Biocreative extraction therapy is simple to manage, as Dr. Kim and colleagues demonstrate in Part 5 of their six-part series. A bonded mesh tube appliance is shown for labial retraction using Class I and Class III elastics; an anteroposterior lingual retractor is anchored by a palatal miniplate for lingual mechanics.

Skeletally Anchored PowerScope 2 for Adult Class II, Division 2 Treatment

ANTONIO MANNI MD, MARCO MIGLIORATI MD, MSc, PhD

Class II, division 2 malocclusion can be difficult to correct in adult patients. Drs. Manni and Migliorati illustrate a combination of the fixed-functional PowerScope 2 device with elastic chains to maximize the skeletal effect and miniscrew anchorage to avoid lower incisor flaring.

SHAKEEL AHMED VALAI KASIM MDS, DIBO, NUPUR ARATHI G. MDS, NATHAMUNI RENGARAJAN KRISHNASWAMY MDS, MOrth

Spaces created prior to restoration of a peg-shaped lateral incisor are traditionally maintained with closed-coil springs. This Pearl shows an esthetic alternative: a temporary crown with a window that allows a bracket to remain bonded to the incisor surface during retraction and space closure.
