- Abstract
Mandibular second premolars are the most commonly impacted teeth after maxillary canines and maxillary and mandibular third molars. Impacted teeth require very light amount of extrusive forces so as to erupt them into the dental arch. Many techniques and appliance designs such as sling shot mechanics1, cantilevers2, cross arch mechanics3 etc. have been proposed for traction of impacted mandibular premolars. The chief factors to be considered are: Use of a light, continuous force to move the impacted teeth. Reduction of side effects. This article describes a wire designed for eruption of impacted mandibular premolars in accordance with the above factors.
