Q

Patient with space between 13, 14
Investigations and justification (6)

A

Radiograph (PA or OPT) - to check if there is a supernumerary or pathology causing the spacing
Sensibility testing - as supernumerary may cause root resorption and loss of vitality
Mobility assessment - root resorption due to supernumerary may cause mobility

Q

Composite added to anterior teeth, increasing the OVD and causing posterior disclusion, over the space of 3-6 months the posterior teeth over erupt back into contact at the new OVD, giving space for any definitive anterior restorations (usually the initial composite is definitive)
