•Normal eruption:-
When a developing tooth moves from
it’s initial nonfunctional position within
the alveolar bone to it’s final functional
location within the oral cavity.
1. Interproximal wedging :-
After the occlusal surface of the first permanent molar becomes exposed in
the oral cavity, the eruption path of the impacted tooth can often be
favorably influenced by inserting a brass ligature wire gingival to the contact
of the permanent and primary molars.The 0.026 in, brass ligature is
threaded around the contact area occlusally and tightened with #110 pliers
to compress the area and wedge the teeth apart. The free end is cut to a 2
or 3 mm length and is placed in the
gingival crevice, minimizing irritation to
the buccal tissue. The wire is tightened
or a new one placed at three- to seven-
day intervals to cause distocclusal
movement of the first permanent molar.
When the contact opens so that the
wire can no longer be retained, a larger
wire is used or the patient is
reappointed in three or four days, after
which time the contact will have been
re-established and the ligature
treatment can resume.
2. Distal tipping :-
Humphrey has described another technique for correcting ectopically
erupting first permanent molars. A preformed steel orthodontic band is
adapted to the second primary molar on the affected side. A soft
Elgiloy*wire is welded and then soldered to the band with a silver bar
solder. An S-shaped loop is placed in the
wire. The loop is opened slightly and is flame
heated prior to cementation. The distal
extension of the wire is placed in a
preparation in the central occlusal pit of the
ectopically erupting molar. It may be
necessary to reactivate the appliance in
seven or ten days. An occlusal amalgam or
preventive resin restoration is later placed in
the first molar. Bayardo recommends
soldering two 0.25 Elgiloy wires, one on the buccal and the second on
the lingual, to an orthodontic band, which has been adapted to the
primary second molar. Each wire has a helical loop and an extension,
which engages the ectopic molar. The springs are activated weekly for
six weeks.
