abstract: Use of functional plaque in the initial orthodontic treatment of a case of dental and basal 2nd class with dual dental protrusions in a 12-year-old patient. The use of a functional plaque is described in a 12-year-old male patient in dental and basal 2nd class, following the extraction of 1.6-2.5-2.6-3.6-4.6 due to caries. Biprotrusion was observed together with an overjet of 8 mm and an overbite of 6 mm. Results of the therapy are reported after 21 months.
