Control of anterior anchorage with miniscrews and sliding mechanics in an adolescent with missing second premolars: A clinical report with biomechanical validation - 11/07/24
Summary |
Congenital missing second premolars in growing patients should be accurately evaluated in order to establish a suitable treatment plan. Concerning the decision of whether to close or maintain spaces in the dental arches, it shall also be based on biomechanical aspects and the aesthetic traits of individual patients. Accordingly, the option of closing tooth spaces requires an adequate application of biomechanical principles aimed at avoiding detrimental effects on dental arches and facial profile. An effective use of titanium miniscrews for immediate loading, associated with efficient sliding mechanics, can represent an elective way to successfully treat such cases. Herein, the objective is to describe the procedure and underscore the advantages of the mentioned approach by presenting a clinical case along with long-term follow-up.
