Time Saving Method In Curing Light Cure Composite While Orthodontic Bracket Placement.

The placement of brackets precisely in clinical situations cured by light cured techniques is time consuming. This special technique describes an innovative idea of reducing the curing time and saving the clinical hours for placement of brackets.

Traction of Horizontally Impacted Central Incisor: A Case Report.

Impactions of maxillary central incisors occur uncommonly. Treatment of such impactions is challenging, as they interfere with facial esthetics and other clinical problems. Early detection of such teeth is most important if complications are to be avoided. We report a case of 13 year old female patient with impacted maxillary central incisor located high in the vestibule, parallel to the occlusal plane at the level of adjacent teeth root tips, with rotated right central incisor and mesially tipped left lateral incisor towards midline with barely 4-5 mm space left between the right central incisor and the left lateral incisor. The impacted tooth was surgically exposed and traction was done with orthodontic intervention.
