Compensatory Treatment of a Complex Class III Malocclusion
Volume 56 : Number 2 : Page 20220201 : Feb 2022
Recent technological advances in thermoactivated and superelastic wires and skeletal anchorage have enabled simpler compensatory orthodontic treatment of skeletal Class III patients without extractions or orthognathic surgery. In this case, the authors use passive self-ligating brackets and extra-alveolar mandibular skeletal anchorage.

CASE REPORT
Surgical Luxation and Orthodontic Traction of an Ankylosed Upper First Molar
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
Dental ankylosis is a cellular change in the periodontal ligament that results in continuity or fusion between the alveolar bone and cementum, making it impossible for a tooth to erupt completely. It is identified clinically by the failure of a tooth to erupt through the oral epithelium, by incomplete eruption, or by a lack of vertical movement compared with the adjacent teeth and the alveolar bone. Although ankylosis is more common in the primary dentition, it may also affect the permanent teeth, typically the molars. Bone defects are often associated, especially when ankylosis occurs during active vertical growth of the maxilla.
