The gingival response to orthodontic tooth movement
TL;DR: Four stages of tooth movement are described: prior to extraction, immediately following extraction, the distal movement of the tooth to the point where the epithelium separates from its mesial aspect, and the production beside the mesial surface of the Tooth of a red patch.

TL;DR: In selected cases, forced eruption may be a useful approach in treating isolated nonrestorable teeth as a result of trauma, caries, or iatrogenic dentistry.
Abstract: In selected cases, forced eruption may be a useful approach in treating isolated nonrestorable teeth as a result of trauma, caries, or iatrogenic dentistry. This paper has presented the biologic rationale, objectives, technics and clinical cases to demonstrate the principle. Evaluation has been made of potential difficulties which may develop with the technic and areas for future research have been identified.

TL;DR: The plaque index, the gingival index, and pocket depths were greater and statistically significant on the right side, indicative of increased inflammatory activity where bands were cemented, and once the appliances were removed, both areas returned to pretreatment levels.

TL;DR: The results suggested that orthodontic treatment in adolescence is not a major factor in determining the long-term periodontal health status and the lack of orthodentic therapy in adolescence does not appear to influence subsequent development or nondevelopment ofperiodontal disease in adults.

TL;DR: It is indicated that open gingival embrasures are common in adults who have undergone orthodontic treatment and that posttreatment variables are significant factors in open gingingival embrasure.

TL;DR: This article closely examines the many interdisciplinary issues that arise when treatment planning the placement of single-tooth implants in patients with congenitally missing lateral incisors and illustrates the importance of an interdisciplinary treatment approach to achieve optimal esthetics and long-term predictability.
Abstract: UNLABELLED Three treatment options exist for the replacement of congenitally missing lateral incisors. They include canine substitution, a tooth-supported restoration, and a single-tooth implant. Selecting the appropriate treatment option depends on the malocclusion, anterior relationship, specific space requirements, and condition of the adjacent teeth. The ideal treatment is the most conservative option that satisfies individual esthetic and functional requirements. Today, the single-tooth implant has become one of the most common treatment alternatives for the replacement of missing teeth. This article closely examines the many interdisciplinary issues that arise when treatment planning the placement of single-tooth implants in patients with congenitally missing lateral incisors. The specific criteria that must be evaluated illustrate the importance of an interdisciplinary treatment approach to achieve optimal esthetics and long-term predictability. This is the final article of a three-part series discussing the three treatment alternatives for replacing congenitally missing lateral incisors. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE When treatment planning single-tooth implants to replace congenitally missing lateral incisors, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to provide the most predictable treatment outcome.
