Clinical evaluation of implant anchorage for molar intrusio

Purpose:The purpose of this study is to describe a method to intrude supra-erupted molars using mini-screw implants anchorage.Methods:Five patients with overerupted maxillary molars were selected,aging from 21 to 49 years old,the average age was 31 years old.There were 2 men and 3 women.All the overerupted molars were intruded in gingival direction with mini-screw implants anchorage.Results:All of the missing teeth were treated by implants prosthetic treatment.Concluslons:Significant true intrusion of maxillary molars could be obtained by mini-screw implant as bony anchorage.
