Abstract:
We have all been into treatment and lost sight of the "plan" we were so familiar with at the treatment planning stage. Eighteen to 21 months into treatment, we are faced with extraction decisions or surgical planning that should have been addressed at 9 or 12 months. This case report illustrates a treatment plan with several variables that were dependent upon treatment responses. It also illustrates planning a gingival graft to increase the crown length of a first premolar after the canine was substituted as the lateral incisor.
