title: Integrated orthodontic and restorative procedures for replacement of lost central incisors.
abstract: The use of adhesive material in association with many clinical procedures has contributed a great deal to solving functional and esthetic problems. Before adhesive techniques were known, dental procedures were more invasive and aggressive, especially in young patients. This article describes some integrated clinical procedures used to esthetically and functionally restore a mouth with traumatic loss of both central incisors. The treatment involved the orthodontic mesialization of the upper teeth toward the midline followed by anatomic and functional recovery through restorative dentistry.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This article describes some integrated clinical procedures that may effectively and conservatively improve the esthetic and functional results when a young patient loses the central incisors.
