Intrusion of Supraerupted Second Molars with the Palatal Intrusion Fork
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 2015
Loss of a tooth in either arch will result in tipping of the adjacent teeth toward the extraction space, narrowing of the alveolar ridge due to resorption, and supraeruption of the antagonist tooth. T...

A "Renewable" Archwire for Uprighting Impacted Lower Second Molars
Volume 50 : Number 4 : Page 0 : Apr 2016
An impacted lower second molar is relatively rare, with an incidence of .06-.3%, but when encountered can be the most challenging problem in an otherwise routine orthodontic treatment. Uprighting usually needs to be done as quickly as possible to restore chewing function, placing a premium on efficient mechanics. Unfortunately, since treatment commonly involves individual manipulation of bracket positions, frequent wire changes or bending, or placement of auxiliaries, an impacted lower second molar is difficult to correct with pre-programmed orthodontic appliances such as Invisalign, SureSmile, or Incognito.
