Orthodontic molar intrusion with palatal implant: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with missing molars usually present with supraerupted antagonist molars, hampering rehabilitation by prosthesis. In such cases orthodontic intrusion of the supraerupted molar can be considered. There are several modalities for intrusion but active intrusion can be achieved by temporary anchorage devices or TAD’s. Intraorally TAD’s can be placed at various sites in the maxilla such as buccal alveolus, palatal alveolus and mid palatal region. Among these, palatal alveolus provides more favorable periodontium for stability of TAD’s. This case report presents molar intrusion with a palatal implant.

Intrusion of overerupted upper first molar using two orthodontic miniscrews. A case report.
Loss of the mandibular first molar often leads to the overeruption of the opposing maxillary first molar, resulting in occlusal interference, loss of periodontal bony support, and inadequate room to restore the mandibular edentulous space. Without orthodontic molar intrusion or segmental surgical impaction, restoring the posterior occlusion often entails the need for significant reduction of ma...
متن کاملEndodontic Retreatment of a Maxillary First Molar with Unusual Palatal Root Canal Morphology: A Case Report
Introdouction: Variations in root canal morphology pose a challenge for successful endodontic treatment. The root canal anatomy of the maxillary first molar has been often described as three roots with four canals (two mesiobuccal, one distobuccal, and one palatal). The occurrence of two palatal canals in one palatal root is quite rare. This report represents the case of a maxillary first molar...
متن کاملA Novel Treatment Approach for Extruded Maxillary Molars
Two approaches are currently used to correct overerupted/extruded posterior teeth, the “prosthodontic” and the “orthodontic” one. This report presents a novel orthodontic approach for selective molar intrusion. In two females (26 and 20 years), a modified transpalatal arch (TPA, equivalent to a couple with a 30 g net force) was used to move the tooth bodily. A 50 g force was applied to the over...
متن کاملBodily distalization of molars with absolute anchorage.
Palatal implants have been used over the last two decades to eliminate headgear wear and to establish stationary anchorage. In this case report, the stability of a palatal implant for distalization of molars bodily and for anchorage maintenance was assessed. The implant was a stepped screw titanium (4.5 mm diameter x 8 mm length), and it was placed in the palatal region for orthodontic purposes...
متن کاملUpper-molar intrusion using anterior palatal anchorage and the Mousetrap appliance.
antagonists are a common orthodontic problem, especially in adult patients. To facilitate prosthodontic restoration in the mandible, the overerupted molars have to be intruded, which tends to cause the adjacent teeth to extrude when conventional appliances are used. In recent years, temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have allowed orthodontists to overcome these drawbacks while avoiding unesthet...
