Comments

  • Because of mobility and mesial deep bone loss, the patient received advice from an implantologist to extract tooth 2.1 and place an implant
  • We decided to first treat orthodontically and align all teeth, to give her a proper stable occlusion especially 2.1, so, even if she loses the tooth in the future, the implant can be placed in a favorable desirable position.
  • Two stages and IPR were needed to completely resolve the crowding of lower incisors, especially tooth 4.2
  • IPR and retraction was needed to align and correct the flared upper anterior teeth
  • Because of the anterior bone loss, we took our time with the correction
  • Endodontic treatment was performed on tooth 2.1 throughout the treatment, and patients' bone loss condition began to improve
  • Heavy contacts on anterior were evaluated during the treatment with our focus on tooth 2.1
  • Occlusal adjustments on the palatal surface were performed as needed
  • At the end of the treatment, the black triangle between 1.1 and 2.1 was improved aesthetically by means of restoring the mesial surfaces using composite resin which closed the remaining gap
  • With the correction of the anterior occlusion, the bone loss on the mesial surface of tooth 2.1  and mobility improved a lot
  • As for now, the implant of tooth 2.1 is on hold. We hope for forever
  • We chose to place a palatal fixed retainer between #1.1 and #2.1 together with clear vacuum-formed retainers for now (Vivera will be done later)
