  • Title: Clinical management in extraction cases using palatal implant for anchorage.
    Author: Giancotti A, Greco M, Mampieri G, Arcuri C.
    Journal: J Orthod; 2004 Dec; 31(4):288-94. PubMed ID: 15608343.
    Abstract:
    This case report presents a Class I extraction treatment in an adult patient with bimaxillary crowding using a palatal implant for anchorage control. The implant (pure titanium 6 mm SLA) is inserted in the middle of the palate, after a careful radiological assessment on a lateral cephalogram. At the end of the healing period (13 weeks), an anchorage device, such as a squared trans-palatal bar connecting the maxillary molars to the palatal implant, is projected and placed in order to obtain the posterior anchorage control. The orthodontic treatment was performed according to the bidimensional technique.
