OrthodonticsSOLUTION
Mechanical approaches for aligning unerupted teeth. Orthodontic traction to pull an unerupted tooth toward the line of the arch should begin as soon as possible after surgery
Ideally a fixed orthodontic appliance should already be in place before the unerupted tooth is exposed, so that orthodontic force can be applied immediately.
If this is not practical, active orthodontic movement should being no later than 2 or 3 weeks post-surgically.

Dental MaterialsFluoromica glass ceramics like Dicor have a composition based on mica crystals consisting of silica, potassium oxide (K2O), magnesium oxide (MgO), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), with zirconium oxide (ZrO2) added for stability. Fluorides are included in the mixture to achieve fluorescence in the finished prosthesis. The material is castable and shares some similarities with traditional dental ceramics but with unique properties derived from its crystalline structure.
