When teeth cannot be retained during a maxillary protrusion modification, the technique used is:

  1. Craig's pendulum
  2. Dean's intraseptal alveoloplasty
  3. Class II maxillary extraction
  4. Bone grafting
Explanation

Answer: B - When correcting maxillary protrusion and the teeth cannot be retained, the Dean's intraseptal alveoloplasty technique should be used. The advantages of this technique includes the reduction of the alveolar, the maintained relationship of periosteal and the underlying bone, and it offers the least amount of disturbance to the alveolar ridge muscle attachment.
