He looks to Erika Cohen, his wife and partner, as a bellwether, noting that her personal fall wish list includes Mr. Tisci's black leather boots with a shark-tooth closure, as well as a crocodile-stamped variation with a tassel on the back.
This type of alteration affects the correct relationship of the dental pad and the lower teeth upon closure.
Other treatment options such as orthodontic space closure, autotransplantation and conventional or resin-bonded bridges depend on factors such as the number of missing teeth, occlusion, age, facial morphology, tooth morphology, and need for orthodontic treatment in general.
At 6 months, clinical and radiographic examination revealed almost total replacement resorption of the root of the primary tooth and complete closure of the space (Fig. 6).
The occlusal scheme of the device controls the forces on teeth during mandibular closure and excursions.
The tensile tests were conducted using a testing machine (Insight 1 kN, MTS, Minnesota, USA), equipped with a 100-N cell load with pneumatic saw-tooth-shaped clamps (closure pressure of 275.6 kPa), which prevent tendon slippage during testing (Fig. 4).
The absence of striae is manifested on the occlusal surface of the cheek teeth by the closure of the flexi into fossettes.
This study was designed to determine the optimum vertical height of the retraction force on the power arm that is required for efficient anterior tooth retraction during space closure with sliding mechanics.
Skulls were assessed as adult based on tooth eruption and full closure of the basilar synchondrosis.

During many orthodontic procedures (surgical exposure of impacted teeth, rotation movements, and spaces closure) an option is to bond disinclusion buttons to the tooth [ 4, 5].
