Abstract
Part 1 concentrated on implications of dental trauma especially prior to and during orthodontic treatment. This paper examines the literature supporting various treatment options for poor prognosis anterior teeth and subsequent space generated when these teeth are lost. The role of an interdisciplinary team in managing this clinical situation is essential to obtain optimal results and an orthodontist is an essential member. Although some treatment options are not provided by orthodontists it is important that they have some knowledge of these and the latest research that support their use. Other techniques lie very much within the orthodontic remit.
