Abstract
Anterior crossbite is the term used to describe an abnormal labiolingual relationship between one or more maxillary and mandibular incisor teeth, Different techniques have been used to correct anterior crossbite ,This case describes the use of bonded resin-composite slopes for the management of anterior crossbite in mixed dentition , in my case several anterior teeth were included , whereas other studies usually use a single tooth.
A case of 10 years old Girl with a crossbite of multiple incisor teeth selected for this study. An inclined composite of 3-4 mm in size with 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the teeth , was constructed on buccal and the incisal edges of the related mandibular incisors. The occlusion was checked so that the only contact between both arches was at the level of these incisors.
Correction was achieved within 3 weeks with no damage to either the tooth or the marginal periodontal tissue.
The present results showed that, a composite inclined plane is a useful technique to correct anterior crossbite of multiple incisor teeth .The procedure is considered as a simple and effective method for treating multiple anterior dental crossbite.
