title: A conservative method for the treatment of undermining resorption of a mandibular primary molar.
abstract: The authors describe a simple, conservative procedure to guide the first permanent molar into its normal position in the dental arch. The second primary molar is recontoured and covered with a stainless steel crown, thus providing a free path of eruption for the first permanent molar.
