Abstract:
A technique for surgical uprighting of malposed mandibular second molars is described. The principal advantage of this technique is that the tooth is stabilized by bone on the distal aspect of the uprighted tooth. Long-term clinical and radiographic follow-up reveals positional stability and no adverse pulpal or periodontal sequellae.
