  • Title: Mandibular second molar impaction treatment using skeletal anchorage.
    Author: Enache AM, Nicolescu I, Georgescu CE.
    Journal: Rom J Morphol Embryol; 2012; 53(4):1107-10. PubMed ID: 23303042.
    Abstract:
    The mandibular second molar impaction is a rare dental anomaly with a very challenging treatment. Although there are some treatment modalities, often the proper option is surgical exposure and orthodontically assisted eruption with a high rate of success depending on the appropriate appliance design, which assures a good control of the tooth movement with minimum side effects. A case report of a severe bilaterally impaction of the mandibular second molar in an adolescent female patient is presented, successfully treated using a miniplate, as skeletal anchorage.
