RESUMO
This study shows the types of malocclusions that can be treated in the primary dentition and advocates correction of maxillary constrictions from five years of age onwards, when such constrictions lead to crossbites. A preferred method to treat maxillary constrictions is through rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with the Haas expander, even in the early stages of occlusal development. This paper presents a cross-sectional evaluation and a long-term follow-up of the upper permanent incisors during the active and passive phases of RME and shows no signs of root or pulp alterations.

This article illustrates an unusual situation, the ectopic eruption of the mandibular permanent lateral incisor, through the case report of a patient with a Class I malocclusion at an early stage of the mixed dentition. The article is focused on the diagnosis of the ectopic eruption and advocates treatment with an active orthodontic therapy at the early stage of the mixed dentition, before the eruption of the permanent cuspid.
