Abstract
Regular recall strategies ensure the general dental practitioner is ideally placed to recognize, manage and correct many occlusal problems in the mixed dentition phase. The first paper focused on recognition of normal and abnormal occlusal development, cessation of habits and correction of crossbites. This paper considers management of leeway space, highlights the importance of palpation of unerupted maxillary canines, and discusses the need for judicious removal of primary teeth (Keys 4-6).
