A newer simultaneous space creation, eruption, and adjacent root control spring for the management of impacted tooth

Contemp Clin Dent. 2014 Oct;5(4):555-7. doi: 10.4103/0976-237X.142831.

Abstract

Welcome preparation (to create space), surgical exposure and attachment to the impacted tooth and the orthodontic guidance for the eruption of the impacted tooth. Sometimes, due to deficiency of space, creation of space for impacted tooth requires first, and space regaining efforts may require the distal movement of posterior teeth and or mesial movement of anterior teeth in the arch, but it may create some problems. To overcome the unwanted problem in this clinical situation and to reduce overall treatment duration of the patient, we have developed the Simultaneous space creation, Eruption and Adjacent root control spring to control crown as well as root movement.

Keywords: Labial canine impaction; eruption and adjacent root control spring; simultaneous space creation.
