PEARLSComposite Build-Up of Infraoccluded Second Deciduous MolarsNEAL D. KRAVITZ DMD, MSLack of a successor to a lower second deciduous molar can cause supraeruption of the opposing upper premolar. This Pearl shows how to add flowable resin to the infraoccluded deciduous molar to restore function and esthetics during the retention phase. |

Anatomical Limits for Distalization of Lower Posterior Molars with Micro-Implant AnchorageHO-JIN KIM DDS, MSD, WOON-SEOK JANG DDS, MSD, HYO-SANG PARK DDS, MSD, PhDBased on conventional lateral cephalograms, the anterior border of the ascending ramus has been considered the limit for lower molar distalization. Drs. Kim, Jang, and Park use computed tomography to provide visual evidence of a more realistic anatomical limit. |

Lack of a successor to a lower second deciduous molar can cause supraeruption of the opposing upper premolar. This Pearl shows how to add flowable resin to the infraoccluded deciduous molar to restore function and esthetics during the retention phase.
