Bone loss and soft tissue loss are common problems after tooth extraction and that can lead to excessive length of clinical crowns. This problem can be exacerbated by delaying implant placement after tooth extraction. In this case the opposite occurred.

Implant-supported rehabilitation of severe malocclusion due to unilateral condylar hypoplasia: case report.

This study examined discourse ability in children with stroke as compared with orthopedic controls, age-at-injury, and lesion effects.
