title: Treatment of maxillary molars with vertical fractures.
abstract: To date, there has been no reliable method for treating bucco-palatal fractured maxillary molar teeth. We have developed a simple repositioning method to fix teeth fractured in this way using wire. The effectiveness of this new approach was evaluated in both in vitro experimental research and clinical studies.
