    Early identification and management of mandibular canine ectopia
    (South African Dental Association, 2011) Hudson, Athol; Harris, Angela; Mohamed, Nadia
    Mandibular canine impaction and transmigration have serious consequences for the patient, as removal of the tooth or teeth in question is often the only solution. The loss of one or both mandibular canines complicates orthodontic treatment. Early warning signs of mandibular canine ectopia are explored in this paper as well as how to assess the potential for displacement, impaction and/or transmigration. This paper highlights the value of interceptive treatment once the early signs of an aberrant mandibular canine have been detected.

    The mixed dentition pantomogram: A valuable dental development assessment tool for the dentist
    (South African Dental Association, 2009) Hudson, Athol; Harris, Angela; Mohamed, Nadia
    The mixed dentition pantomogram is routinely used in paediatric patients. This paper discusses the value of the pantomogram for early identification of problems in dental development during the mixed dentition stage. Aspects regarding dental maturity, leeway space, the sequence of eruption of the permanent teeth, anomalies and the development of the canines will be reviewed.

    Use of the passive lower lingual arch in the management of anterior mandibular crowding in the mixed dentition
    (South African Dental Association, 2013) Hudson, Athol; Harris, Angela; Mohamed, Nadia; Joubert, Jo-Anne
    Leeway space preservation in the mixed dentition is a well-documented method of space management. In the mandibular arch it may be saved for utilization in the correction of minor anterior crowding by the placement of a passive lower lingual arch (LLA) during the transition from the mixed dentition to the permanent dentition
