TI  - 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
AB  - 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.
