Congenitally missing lateral incisors or second premolars, extremely displaced canines, or severe trauma to the central incisors all result in a reduced upper dentition. The two most common treatment approaches are space closure or space opening to allow prosthodontic replacement with either a fixed prosthesis or single-tooth implants. Both of these approaches involve compromises in terms of esthetics, periodontal health, and function.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of palatal TAD borne mesialization.
Identify recommendable insertion sites in the palate.
Design an appropriate TAD borne mechanics depending on the treatment objective.
