Intrusion and Maintenance of Maxillary Incisors by Unilateral Orthodontic Anchorage Obtained Through Dental Implants Placed in Grafted Sinus: 16-Year Follow-Up of a Case
(Türkiye Klinikleri Yayınevi, 2022) Tosun, Tosun; Keleş, Ahmet Özlem; Ok, Ufuk
This case report shows stationary orthodontic load bearing capacity of dental implants placed in grafted maxillary sinus. The treatment plan aimed to restore missing teeth by a fixed partial implantretained prosthesis and to treat orthodontic alignment by the aid of the same prosthesis. A 39-years old male patient with unilaterally missing teeth in the maxilla and remaining crowded teeth exhibited poor oral hygiene. The treatment planning involved replacement of missing teeth by dental implants following sinus grafting and subsequent orthodontic correction by means of a newly designed implant retained prosthesis with reciprocal arms which give maximal anchorage to intrude maxillary incisors. Implants were used for dual purpose: Replacement of missing teeth and fixed anchorage for orthodontics. Implants placed in a grafted maxillary sinus which were used as orthodontic anchorage units, they maintained osseointegration during orthodontic treatment under stationary forces. Dental implants in grafted maxillary sinus are able to bear stationary orthodontic forces.
