This document discusses different techniques for surgically uncovering impacted maxillary canines during orthodontic treatment. It outlines four criteria the orthodontist should consider when referring a patient: 1) the labiolingual position of the impacted crown, 2) its position relative to the mucogingival junction, 3) the amount of existing gingiva, and 4) the mesiodistal position. Based on these factors, the orthodontist can recommend the most appropriate surgical technique - excisional uncovering, apically positioned flap, or closed eruption - to simplify eruption and achieve a predictable esthetic result.

The differences between Roth, MBT and Edgewise brackets
In orthodontics, brackets are small pieces of molded metal with extended bits that are attached to the teeth of the patient and used to hold an adjustable wire. Brackets help the dentist straighten the teeth through gradual adjustments.
The two most common types of braces for teeth are traditional metal braces and invisible braces. Traditional braces use metal brackets connected to the teeth with wire threaded through the brackets that adjust the teeth.

Clinical Management of Bilateral Impacted Maxillary CaninesAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Introduction: Impaction of maxillary canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem in orthodontic therapy. When a preventive
approach fails, treatment involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, followed by orthodontic traction to guide and align it into the
dental arch. The aim of the present report was to demonstrate by case reports of an adult patient with bilateral impacted maxillary canines
treated with surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment.
Material and Methods: A 15year-old female with various degrees of bilateral palatal impaction of maxillary canines were managed
by the described technique.
Results and Discussion: Autonomous eruption of the impacted canines after surgical uncovering was witnessed in all patients
without the need for application of a vertical orthodontic force for their extrusion.
Conclusion: The described method of surgical uncovering and autonomous eruption created conditions for biological eruption of the
palatally impacted canines into the oral cavity and facilitated considerably the subsequent orthodontic treatment for their proper alignment
in the dental arch.

Surgery of Labially Impacted Canine & Orthodontic Management – A Case ReportAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Maxillary canines are one of the most common teeth that are impacted among patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Depending on the position of these impacted teeth, various surgical techniques have been employed for their exposure. His primary goal of surgical phase is to provide the means for correct position of orthodontic anchorage. Additionally, the technique used must ensure favorable tissue anatomy that will permit long-term maintenance of periodontal health. In the present case, a labially impacted maxillary left canine was surgically exposed using an apically po
Titanium Button With Chain by Watted For Orthodontic Traction of Impacted Ma...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Abstract: Advances in bonding techniques and materials allow for reliable bracket placement on ectopically positioned teeth. This prospective study evaluates the outcome of forced orthodontic eruption of impacted canine teeth in both palatal and labial positions. Eighty-two impacted maxillary canines in 2200patients were included in the study and were observed for 2006 to 2013 ,in Center for Dentistry research and Aesthetics, Jatt/Israel after exposure. Following exposure by means of a palatal flap or an apically repositioned buccal flap, an orthodontic traction hook, with a Titanium Button with chain by Watted (Dentaurum) attached, was bonded to each impacted tooth using a light cured orthodontic resin cement. A periodontal dressing was placed over the surgical site for a period of time. All teeth were successfully erupted. Complications consisted of: failure of initial bond, at the time of surgery, which required rebonding; premature debonding at the time of pack removal and; debonding of brackets during orthodontic eruption. There was no infection, eruption failure, ankylosis, resorption or periodontal defect (pocket greater than 3 mm) associated with any of the exposed teeth. Forced orthodontic eruption of impacted maxillary canines with a well bonded orthodontic traction hook and ligation chain, used in conjunction with a palatal flap or an apically repositioned labial flap, results in predictable orthodontic eruption with few complications.

The mandibular second premolar is one of the most frequently impacted teeth. The recommended treatment is to extract the second primary molar with or without removing the bone along the eruption path, to uncover the tooth surgically and move it into the arch by orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this article is to review the principles of case management of soft tissue impacted second premolars mandibular and to illustrate their potential to respond well to the treatment. Although the scope of treatment may depend on a varying range of factors, this case report demonstrates the inherent potential for good treatment outcome in cases of soft tissue impactions.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
2. Although the mechanical management of
impacted teeth is a routine task for most
orthodontists, certain impactions can be
frustrating, and the esthetic outcome can be
unpredictable if the surgeon uncovers the
impacted tooth improperly.
3. When referring a patient to have an impacted
tooth uncovered, the orthodontist might
assume incorrectly that the surgeon knows
which surgical procedure to use. However, if not
instructed properly, the surgeon could select an
inappropriate technique, leaving the
orthodontist with the difficult if not sometimes
lengthy and challenging task of erupting the
impacted tooth into the dental arch.
4. •On the other hand, if the correct uncovering
technique is chosen, the eruption process can
be simplified, resulting in a predictably stable
and esthetic result. This is especially true for
impacted maxillary canines.
5. After the third molars, the maxillary canines are
the most commonly impacted permanent teeth.
About one third of impacted maxillary canines
are positioned labially or within the alveolus,
and two thirds are located palatally.
6. In most situations, the appropriate timing and
surgical procedure for uncovering an impacted
canine are determined by specific criteria. This
article will review the surgical and
orthodontic management of impacted
maxillary canines.
7. Labial impaction
Labial impaction of a maxillary canine is due either to ectopic migration
of the canine crown over the root of the lateral incisor or shifting of
the maxillary dental midline, causing insufficient space for the canine
to erupt.
8. Williams suggested that extraction of the maxillary deciduous canine as
early as 8 or 9 years of age will enhance the eruption and self-
correction of a labial or intra-alveolar maxillary canine impaction.
9. Olive suggested that opening space for the
canine crown with routine orthodontic
mechanics might allow for spontaneous
eruption of an impacted canine.
10. However, in some situations, even these
techniques do not work, and the orthodontist
must refer the patient to have the labial
impaction uncovered surgically.
11. There are 3 techniques for uncovering a labially
impacted maxillary canine:
excisional uncovering,
apically positioned flap,
and closed eruption techniques.
Which technique should the orthodontist
recommend?
12. excisional uncovering
Patient had impacted maxillary right canine. A, Space was created orthodontically, but tooth did not erupt. B, Tooth was labially
positioned, coronal to mucogingival junction, and there was sufficient gingiva in area. C, simple excisional procedure was used to uncover
it. D, After orthodontic eruption, relationship of gingival margins relative to adjacent teeth was normal with adequate zone of gingiva.
13. A, Patient had impacted maxillary left canine. B, Buccal object rule indicated tooth was positioned labially. C,
Teeth were initially aligned, and, because canine crown was positioned labially, any of 3 uncovering techniques
could be used. However, cusp tip was positioned above mucogingival junction and was displaced mesially. D,
Apically positioned flap technique was chosen. E, After gingival tissues had healed, tooth was gradually moved
distally. F, Placed in its correct position.
apically positioned flap
14. apically positioned flap
A, Patient had impacted maxillary right canine. Crown was positioned labially between lateral and first premolar and was partially
below mucogingival junction. Simple excisional uncovering could not be used, because there was insufficient gingiva in region.
B, Mucosa stained with Schiller’s iodine solution. Apically positioned flap was used to expose tooth and increase width of gingiva. C,
After healing, bracket was attached. D, Tooth erupted into position with adequate zone of gingiva.
15. Closed eruption techniques.
A, Patient had intra-alveolar impaction of maxillary right canine. B, Space was opened orthodontically for impacted tooth.
Crown was positioned above mucogingival junction and in alveolus, so neither excisional uncovering nor apically positioned flap
was appropriate. C, Closed eruption technique was used. D, Labial flap was elevated, and sufficient bone around crown was
removed to allow eruption without impinging on bone. E, F, and G, Ballista loop was used to erupt tooth into center of alveolar
ridge. Canine was then placed in its proper position in arch. H, After orthodontic treatment, right canine has sufficient gingiva and
resembles contralateral nonimpacted canine.
16. When referring a patient for surgical exposure of a
labial or intra-alveolar impaction of a maxillary canine,
the orthodontist should evaluate 4 criteria to
determine the correct method for uncovering the
tooth.
17. First, assess the labiolingual position of the impacted
canine crown. If the tooth is impacted labially, then any
of the 3 techniques could be used, because generally
there is little if any bone covering the crown of the
impacted canine. However, if the tooth is impacted in
the center of the alveolus, an excisional approach and
an apically positioned flap are generally more difficult
to perform, because extensive bone might need to be
removed from the labial surface of the crown.
18. • The second criterion to evaluate is the vertical position of the tooth
relative to the mucogingival junction.
If most of the canine crown is positioned coronal to the mucogingival
junction, any of the 3 techniques can be used to uncover the tooth.
19.
20. However, if the canine crown were positioned apical to
the mucogingival junction, an excisional technique
would be inappropriate, because it would not result
in any gingiva over the labial surface of the tooth after
it had erupted.
21.
22.
23. • In addition, if the crown were positioned significantly
apical to the mucogingival junction, an apically
positioned flap would also be inappropriate, because
it would result in instability of the crown and possible
reintrusion of the tooth after orthodontic treatment.
In the latter situation, a closed eruption technique
will provide adequate gingiva over the crown and
does not result in reintrusion of the tooth in the long
term.
24.
25. The third criterion to evaluate is the amount of gingiva
in the area of the impacted canine. If there were
insufficient gingiva in the area of the canine, the only
technique that predictably would produce more
gingiva is an apically positioned flap. However, if there
were sufficient gingiva to provide at least 2 to 3 mm
of attached gingiva over the canine crown after it had
been erupted, any of the 3 techniques could be used.
26.
27. The fourth and final criterion to evaluate is the mesiodistal position of
the canine crown. If the crown were positioned mesially and over the
root of the lateral incisor, it could be difficult to move the tooth
through the alveolus unless it was completely exposed with an
apically positioned flap. In this latter situation, closed eruption or
excisional uncovering generally would not be recommended.
