ORTHODONTIC INTRUSION OF SINGLE MOLAR USING MINI IMPLANT- PRE-PROSTHETIC ORTHODONTICS-A CASE REPORT!

Aim: To demonstrate a case using mini-implant-supported orthodontic molar intrusion to regain ideal crown height space (CHS) for a prosthetic crown. Background: Supraerupted maxillary molars are a common clinical finding either due to tooth loss or due to loss of structure of mandibular molar. Hence, it is necessary to regain the lost vertical dimension before the prosthesis, either conventionally by endodontic and prosthetic intervention or by orthodontic intrusion with the aid of temporary anchorage devices (TADs). Conclusion: The present case report demonstrated the successful role of mini-implants in orthodontic molar intrusion for establishing an ideal CHS for a prosthetic crown.
