Question 5

What is the difference between open and closed exposure?

Answer 5

Closed technique involves surgical uncovering of the canine with a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap dissected off the bone. The bone covering the canine is removed and an attachment with a chain is bonded to the exposed tooth. The palatal flap is repositioned and sutured back with the chain penetrating through the mucosa. Orthodontic force is applied and the canine is moved beneath the palatal mucosa (3). Open technique involves surgical uncovering of the canine, with removal of a window of mucoperiosteal tissue from around the tooth and placement of a pack to cover the exposed area (4). The continuing treatment approaches vary after removal of tissue, depending on whether an attachment is bonded to the exposed tooth at surgery or after removal of pack or if spontaneous eruption is allowed post-surgery.
