Unerupted premolars--an alternative approach

PJ Sandler and SD Springate
Royal London Hospital Dental Institute.

These two cases illustrate variations of an alternative technique for moving unerupted teeth into the mouth. Previously described techniques may damage the tooth or the periodontium and the regular adjustments required can be uncomfortable and are unpleasant for the patient and the operator. The method described provides a stress free alternative which is readily acceptable to patients. Adjustments are rarely needed, but if required they usually involve repositioning a magnet in the removable appliance, a procedure carried out simply by the operator or technician using cold cure acrylic.
