Anterior Crossbite in Primary Dentition Treatment with Strip Crowns: A Case Report
Anterior crossbite correction in primary dentition poses a challenging dilemma for the clinician, since most of the treatments available are designed to be used in mixed or permanent dentition. The rationale for early treatment is to correct the existing or developing skeletal, dentoalveolar and muscular imbalance, to improve the oral environment & to provide more pleasing facial esthetics, thus improving the psychosocial development of child.
Kids are usually unco-operative at younger age; hence treatment acceptance, patient co-operation & compliance are important factors to be considered. In this article we have used Strip crowns, this procedure is simple & quick with minimal discomfort, patient compliance not required, & has the added advantage of esthetics. The anterior crossbite was successfully treated in 2 weeks. A 2 yr follow-up showed that the occlusion stabilized into a sagittal normal relationship, permitting normal dentofacial growth & development to continue.
