  • Title: Periodontal and restorative considerations of molar uprighting.
    Author: Celenza F, Mantzikos TG.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 1996 Mar; 17(3):294-6, 298 passim; quiz 306. PubMed ID: 9051959.
    Abstract:
    The sequelae to the loss of a tooth are both numerous and varied. Furthermore, the ramifications of tooth loss increase in severity with time. Consequently, corrective therapeutic measures can become complex both in the diagnosis and treatment of these situations. As the demand for more predictable treatment results grows, the requirements for more efficacious treatment modalities grow as well. Therefore, the need for interdisciplinary treatment within the various areas of dentistry to assist in the complex rehabilitation becomes very important. The purpose of this article is to examine the various benefits of molar uprighting from periodontal, orthodontic, and restorative viewpoints, and to suggest a classification whereby the clinician is directed toward a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
