چکیده
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two protocols for maxillary molar intrusion with two or three mini-implants. METHODS Twenty five maxillary first molars extruded for loss of their antagonists in adult subjects were selected. The sample was divided into two groups, according to the intrusion protocol with two or three mini-implants. Group 1 consisted of 15 molars that were intruded by two mini-implants. Group 2 consisted of 10 molars intruded by three mini-implants. Changes with treatment were analyzed in lateral cephalograms at the beginning and at the end of intrusion of maxillary molars. RESULTS Results showed that there was no difference in efficiency for the two intrusion protocols. It was concluded that extruded maxillary molars can be intruded with two or three mini-implants with similar efficiency.

Maxillary molar intrusion with fixed appliances and mini-implant anchorage studied in three dimensions.
The intrusion of an overerupted maxillary molar using traditional orthodontic treatment is a real challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the envelope of intrusive movements of a maxillary molar in cases using mini-implants as anchorage with partial or full-mouth fixed edgewise appliances. The cusp tips of the pretreatment and postintrusion dental casts were recorded by a three-dime...
متن کاملIntrusion method for a single overerupted maxillary molar using only palatal mini-implants and partial fixed appliances.
Mandibular first molars are among the most frequently missing teeth in the adult dentition. As a result, the maxillary first molars are frequently overerupted. Conventional approaches to correct this undesirable molar position with skeletal anchorage usually include both buccal and palatal orthodontic mini-implants. Because palatal mini-implants have greater success rates than buccal ones, this...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to determine the efficiency of mini-implants as intraoral anchorage units for en-masse retraction of the 6 maxillary anterior teeth when the first premolars are extracted compared with conventional methods of anchorage reinforcement. METHODS Thirty patients requiring high anchorage after extraction of the maxillary first premolars were selected for this s...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the use of orthodontic mini-implants for the intrusion of supraerupted maxillary molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine patients were treated using buttons bonded on dental surfaces and mini-implants inserted on the buccal and palatal sides. The intrusion was evaluated by comparing radiographs obtained at the start of treatment and at the end of intrusion. The...
متن کاملClosure of an open bite using the 'Mousetrap' appliance: a 3-year follow-up.
Recently, skeletal anchorage devices have been used as anchorage units for upper molar intrusion as a way of correcting an anterior open bite malocclusion. To avoid the surgical procedures associated with the placement of miniplates in the zygomatic area, mini-implants may be inserted palatally or buccally in the alveolar process. However, consideration must be given to the potential risks of r...
