This Compendium eBook opens with a continuing education (CE) article and in-depth case presentation of a complex iatrogenic defect. The accompanying case report explores a treatment plan developed to improve the patient’s lateral profile and lip line, obtain ideal inclination of anterior teeth, maintain class I molar and canine relationships, achieve ideal overbite and overjet, and attain a mutually protected functional occlusion.

CE: Tridimensional Reconstruction of a Complex Iatrogenic Defect Using Orthodontic Forced Eruption and Minimally Invasive Bone Grafting
Ernesto A. Lee, DMD
This Compendium eBook opens with a continuing education (CE) article and in-depth case presentation of a complex iatrogenic defect. This high-risk situation is used to explain an interdisciplinary approach with a subperiosteal minimally invasive esthetic ridge augmentation technique for safer, more predictable results.

Frictionless Segmented Mechanics for Controlled Space Closure
Ildeu Andrade, Jr., DDS, MS, PhD; Fernando Amaral Moreira Guimaraes, DDS; and Giordani Santos Silveira, DDS, MS 
The accompanying case report explores a treatment plan developed to improve the patient’s lateral profile and lip line, obtain ideal inclination of anterior teeth, maintain class I molar and canine relationships, achieve ideal overbite and overjet, and attain a mutually protected functional occlusion. As the patient rejected more aggressive treatments, the authors describe how their simple controlled segmented mechanical approach (differential moments without friction to minimize anchorage loss and control incisor torque) produced excellent results in a relatively short time.
