Bridge Technique for Pre-Prosthodontic Management of Wide SpacesBENEDICT WILMES DMD, MSD, PhD, UWE SCHUMANN DMD, DDS, DIETER DRESCHER DMD, MSD, PhDDrs. Wilmes, Schumann, and Drescher developed this technique to facilitate lower molar mesialization in a patient with more than one missing tooth. A mini-implant of intermediate size serves as a pier to stabilize the archwire and provide anchorage control. |

Periodic Stripping of Lower Anterior Teeth During Retention: A 13-Year Follow-UpEMAN ALSHAYEA BDS, MSc, BASMA ALMAGHLOUTH BDS, MSc, KHALID ALBALKHI BDS, MScFourteen patients were recalled 13 years after treatment to study the effects of interproximal reduction on relapse of lower anterior crowding. Changes in the Irregularity Index and other variables are compared with those in a control group of similar patients. |
