Improving orthodontic results in cases with maxillary incisors missing. 1978

B U Zachrisson

This article has aimed at providing information on how to improve clinical orthodontic results in cases in which maxillary central and lateral incisors are missing. Different sections deal with (1) treatment approach and mechanics, (2) details in finishing, (3) modifications of clinical tooth crowns by special procedures (grinding, composite "corners," gingivectomy), (4) functional considerations and root resorption, and (5) retention.
