title: Treatment of a unilateral Class II crossbite malocclusion with traumatic loss of a maxillary central incisor and a lateral incisor.
abstract: This case report describes the multidisciplinary management of an adolescent girl with traumatic loss of the maxillary right central lateral incisors, and a unilateral Class II crossbite malocclusion. A rapid palatal expansion appliance was used initially to correct the transverse deficiency and secondarily as an anchorage unit for unilateral molar distalization to correct the Class II molar relationship. Temporary incisors were extended from a Nance stabilizing appliance during premolar and canine retraction. A staged approach was used with bone grafting before the placement of 2 single-tooth implants. A favorable outcome was achieved through proper coordination among the orthodontist, the surgeon, and the restorative dentist.
