PEARLSEasy Reactivation Loops for Forsus DevicesABRAHAM THOMAS BDS, MDSThe author presents a simple technique involving the use of looped .017" × .025" stainless steel wire, bent with a bird-beak plier, as an alternative to metal shims for reactivation of Forsus Fatigue Resistant Devices. |

Unusual Extraction Combinations in Patients with Impacted Maxillary CaninesMOHAMMED KHALAF AL SHHAB BDS, ESLAM ESSAM MANSOUR BDS, MOrth RCS, MSc, PhD, AMR RAGAB EL-BEIALY BDS, MOrth RCS, MSc, PhD, YEHYA A. MOSTAFA BDS, MSc, PhDSurgical removal of an ectopically impacted upper canine and substitution by the first premolar can be an option in suitable adult patients. Dr. Al Shhab and colleagues show how the extraction of a lower first molar with poor prognosis can contribute to successful arch alignment in such a case. |

TECHNIQUE CLINICUprighting a Lingually Tilted Lower First Molar with a Double Whip-Spring ApplianceYONG CHIANG BDSThis article introduces a simple lingual whip spring that can tip a lingually erupting lower first molar buccally. Because it requires minimal dental anchorage, it is particularly useful in deep-bite cases where fixed appliances are difficult to place. |

CASE REPORTBone Formation and Gingival Improvement After Correction of Orthodontic RelapseEDUARDO BEATON LENZA DDS, MScc, PhD, MARCOS AUGUSTO LENZA DDS, MSc, PhD, GUILHERME JANSON DDS, MSc, PhDA 19-year-old female experienced gingival recession after unintentional activation of a bonded lingual retainer. Cone-beam computed tomography shows that orthodontic repositioning of the involved lower incisor promoted buccal bone regeneration and thus avoided the need for a gingival graft. |
