Published: July 1996

Impaction of the mandibular second premolars is relatively rare and may offer general dentists and orthodontists special challenges during treatment. The authors discuss two cases involving impacted mandibular second premolars that had migrated before eruption. Surgical and orthodontic therapies were used to bring the teeth into occlusion. The authors emphasize early diagnosis and a collaborative approach between the dental professionals involved in treating these affected patients.

Objective: Both the Masquelet technique (MT) and concentrated growth factors (CGF) reduce early graft loss and improve bone regeneration. This study aims to explore the efficacy of combining MT with CGF for mandibular defect repair by characterizing the induced membrane and assessing in vivo osteogenesis.

Materials And Methods: Three experimental groups were compared: negative control (NC), MT, and Masquelet combined with CGF (MTC).
