The subjects included 30 patients whose average ages were 35.5±9.0 years. All patients had received intrusion treatments for overerupted maxillary molars with miniscrew anchorage. There were 38 maxillary first molars and 26 maxillary second molars to be in- truded. Two miniscrews were inserted in the buccal and palatal alveolar bone mesial to the overerupted molar. Force of 100-150 g was applied by the elastic chains between screw head and attachment on each side. Lateral cephalograms and panoramic radiographs taken before and after intrusion were used to evaluate dental changes and root resorption of molars. Only 6 of the 128 miniscrews failed. The first and second molars were significantly intruded by averages of 3.4 mm and 3.1 mm respectively （P〈0.001）. The average intrusion time was more than 6 months. The crown of the molars mesially tilted by averages of 3.1 degrees and 3.3 degrees （P〈0.001） for first and second molars. The amounts of root resorption were 0.2-0.4 mm on average. The intrusion treatment of overerupted molars with miniscrew anchorages could be used as an efficient and reliable method to recover lost restoration space for pros- thesis. Radiographically speaking, root resorption of molars was not clinically significant after applica- tion of intrusive forces of 200 to 300 g.展开更多

This by itself constitutes a complicated clinical scenario;since the rehabilitation of the edentulous mandibular space usually requires a pre-prosthetic intervention. Multiple treatment options are valid and the choice depends primarily on the severity of the problem. Orthodontic molar intrusion is one of these options. This case report shows how the supra erupted maxillary permanent molars were intruded with the help of temporary anchorage devices placed interradicularly between the maxillary posterior teeth. A total of nine months was enough to complete the treatment. Following the orthodontic molar intrusion, the lower edentulous spaces were restored with dental implant supported prosthesis in order to establish a stable functional occlusion.展开更多
