CHAPTER 9 Special Considerations in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning 277 CHAPTER 9 Special Considerations in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning 277 A B C FIGURE 9-38 A, The frontal smile relationship demonstrates diminished incisor display on smile. B, On sagittal smile, the flare and proclination of the upper incisors are apparent. C, Before treat- ment, a mild anterior open bite was present, and the flare of the maxillary incisors contributes to the open bite and the incomplete incisor display on smile. After interproximal reduction and retraction and uprighting of the maxillary incisors, the amount of incisor display increased. 278 CHAPTER 9 Special Considerations in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning D E F FIGURE 9-38, cont’d D, Interproximal incisor reshaping and retraction of incisors result in uprighting of the anterior teeth, reduced flare, and increase incisor display on smile.E, The saggi- tal smile demonstrates how uprighting of the maxillary incisor improves the smile arc relationship as well. F, This uprighting also results in closure of the anterior open bite. CHAPTER 9 Special Considerations in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning 279 B A C EG D F FIGURE 9-39 A, This 12-year-old, prior to treatment, had a nice smile with consonant smile arc but short incisal crown height, B, The close-up smile demonstrates the short crown height and slight gingival display on smile. C, Her initial intraoral image reflects the diminished crown height. In order to protect her already ideal smile arc, her brackets were place slightly closer to the gingival margin than standard protocol. D, Nearing completion of treatment, while the smile arc was ideal, the gingival hypertrophy secondary to oral hygiene issues (possibly exacer- bated by the bracket proximity interfering with ideal oral hygiene technique) created periodontal pseudopocketing as well as unaesthetic gingival display and form. E, The finishing close-up smile demonstrates the incisal edge placement and the gingival irregularities. F, Upon bracket removal, hypertrophy of the papillae and marginal gingival tissues were noted, resulting in poor gingival shape and contour as well as diminished crown height. Upon reflection, in a more contemporary approach, we might have considered crown lengthening prior to bracket placement in order to avoid this unfortunate sequel of orthodontic appliance treatment. G, Often brackets are removed, hoping a visit to the hygienist and time would resolve the tissues back to their ideal condition. In our experience, this often does not happen since the tissue is fibrotic and is hard to clean. In today’s world, parents are often beyond disappointed in the result. Either an immediate appoint- ment with the periodontist is indicated, or as in this case, a diode laser is employed upon bracket removal to recover an improved condition. 280 CHAPTER 9 Special Considerations in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning H J I K FIGURE 9-39, cont’d H, The aesthetic benefit is immediate, as is the elimination of pseudopock- ets and inflamed, hypertrophic tissue.

  • Anterior Crowding Treatment with Interproximal Enamel Reduction (IER) Technique of Orthodontics Treatment: Case Report
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 Anterior Crowding Treatment with Interproximal Enamel Reduction (IER) Technique of Orthodontics Treatment: Case Report Selvia Yunita1, Eriska Riyanti2 1, 2 Pediatric Department, Faculty of Dentistry, University Padjadjaran, Indonesia Abstract: Introduction: Anterior crowding is the most common case in orthodontic patients. Several methods can be performed such as transverse arch expansion, anterior tooth proclination, teeth distalization in the arch, tooth extraction, or interproximal reduction on tooth enamel. Age, facial profiles, and number of crowding determine the treatment options. One of the most commonly known non-extraction techniques (Interproximal Enamel Reduction) is slicing. This technique is indicated for patients with mild to moderate crowding (4-8 mm), slicing is an alternative to tooth extraction. Case Report: A 13-year-old girl came to the Pediatric Hospital Installation at Dental and Oral Hospital (RSGM) of University Padjadjarancomplained about the composition of the front crowding, not neat, disrupt the appearance and reduce self-confidence. Discussion: This case report explains in stages the orthodontic treatment of mild crowding using the non-extraction techniques (Interproximal Enamel Reduction). Conclusion: The success of orthodontic treatment in correcting malocclusion, especially cases of crowding depends on many factorsof growth and development, namely genetic factors; prenatal and post-natal environment (biological,
