Methods: Treatment involved strap-up of a pre-adjusted edgewise appliance, Roth’s prescription (0.022 X 0.028 - inch slot), with a low lying transpalatal arch 4mm away from the palatal mucosa, and a non-extraction approach. The case was assessed at start of orthodontic treatment (T1), and end of orthodontic treatment (T2). Results: At T2, the anterior open bite was corrected and the canines were treated to a class I relation. The proclined maxillary incisors

Although difficult to achieve quickly, following the principles of the biologic width it is easy to manage. Keywords: Missing pappila, Pappila restoration; Papilla regeneration Introduction Restoring the papilla is a major component of modern aesthetics. Although difficult to achieve quickly, following the principles of the biologic width it is easy to manage. The biologic width determines the position of the free gingival and the tip of the papilla. The tip of the papilla between natural teeth lies 3-4mm higher than the underlying bone. Following this principle we present a case that was restore over a period o

Together with radiographs and electronic apex locators this blind approach has produced surprising success. There is, however, a significant failure rate, especially in long-term. Magnification helps the user not only to see more, but to see well. High levels of magnification increase the aggregate amount of visual information available to endodontists for diagnosing and treatment. Also for improving ergonomics clinically, most dental practitioners will not be able to see an open margin smaller than 0.2 mm. The film thickness of most crown and bridge cements is 25 μm (0.025 mm), well beyond the resolving power of the naked eye. That’s why magnifiers appeared.
