Abstract

Supraeruption of the maxillary molars because of loss of the opposing teeth creates occlusal interference, functional disturbances and increased complexity of restoring edentulous space. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the use of orthodontic microimplants for intrusion of maxillary 1st molars. A 24-year-old girl with an supraerupted maxillary right 2nd premolar and 1st molar encroaching on the opposing mandibular edentulous space were successfully intruded using two well placed microimplants and partial fixed appliance. Two orthodontic microimplants on either side provides a simple, balanced and predictable force system for true intrusion of the molars.
Keywords: Molar intrusion, Microimplants, Supraerupted molars.
