title: [Periodontal and esthetic aspects of orthodontic frontal space closure--results of a long-term study].
abstract: In this study follow-up results of patients are presented, who have been treated in cases of missing incisors by orthodontic space closure. The statements of clinical examinations, casts, intra- and extraoral photographies, x-rays, periodontal examinations and questionnaires pointed out, that the abnormal position of the moved teeth do not interfere with the periodontal tissues. Should the occasion arise of correction by crowns or by grinding, the patients consider the abnormal positioned teeth as esthetical.
