a)  q insufficient intertooth spacing between natural teeth

b)  q congenitally missing lateral incisors

c)  q both answers 1 and 2

d)  q none of these answers

2.  Mini implants should not be used in:

b)  q cases with less than 6.0 mm of inter-tooth space

c)  q supporting edentulous cases

d)  q all of these answers
