  • Title: Intrusion of maxillary molar using mini-implants: A clinical report and follow-up at 5 years.
    Author: Pinzan-Vercelino CRM, Bramante FS, de Araújo Gurgel J, Vergani ECCE, de Souza Gregório R.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2017 Jul; 118(1):1-4. PubMed ID: 28089335.
    Abstract:
    This clinical report describes a straightforward alternative treatment for adult patients with extruded maxillary molars, who are reluctant to use fixed appliances and complex mechanics. The maxillary molar supereruption of a 57-year-old woman was treated using buttons bonded to the buccal and palatal surfaces of the molars, 2 mini-implants, and elastomeric chains. The intrusion was achieved in 5 months. The treatment stability was observed for 5 years after treatment.
