Tunnel Traction Procedure for Deeply Impacted Canines and Resorbed Lateral Incisors
Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 784 : Dec 2015
Three-dimensional radiographic studies have found root resorption in 38% of the lateral incisors and 23% of the central incisors associated with impacted canines. Although such damage can occur even when canines erupt normally, the key to success in treating an impacted canine is to achieve correct positioning in the dental arch without causing periodontal defects. A combined surgical-orthodontic approach called the tunnel traction procedure enables physiological eruption of a deeply impacted upper canine while preserving long-term periodontal health. Introduced by Crescini and colleagues, the technique is based on the concept of infracrestal guided eruption. It is recommended for use in cases where the corresponding deciduous teeth provide sufficient space for eruption of the impacted canines.

Controlling the Vertical Dimension
Volume 51 : Number 7 : Page 375 : Jul 2017
The vertical dimension of the face, or facial height, is one of the more esoteric concepts in dentistry. The online Medical Dictionary defines it as "the linear dimension in the midline from the hairline to menton." Anterior facial height is rather self-evidently described as "the sum of upper and lower facial heights, the lower limit of the latter variously defined as the pogonion, gnathion, or menton. Posterior facial height is often measured from the gonion to the condylare, sella, or center of face point." The occlusal correlate of facial height is the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO).
