[Guidance of tooth eruption in the support areas using proximal grinding]

This article brings a description of a procedure for interproximal slicing. When persistence of the second deciduous molar occurs, the premolar is likely to be blocked in his eruption, while the canine is guided out of the dental arch; in these conditions it might be necessary to perform a slicing mesially of the second deciduous molar. Beforehand one should check for the posterior tooth-size and eruption pattern or sequence of each quadrant.
