Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Mechanics

Background:

  • Extruded maxillary molars can complicate orthodontic treatment, particularly when opposing impacted teeth.
  • A novel approach is presented for managing extruded maxillary second molars in conjunction with impacted mandibular molars.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old female presented with an impacted mandibular second molar and an extruded opposing maxillary second molar.
  • An elastic appliance was used, connecting the extended lingual arch to a lingual button on the maxillary second molar.

Findings:

  • The described method achieved sufficient intrusion of the extruded maxillary second molar.
  • Subsequent conventional traction for the impacted mandibular second molar was successful.
  • No root resorption or periodontal issues were noted during or after treatment.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a straightforward and efficient solution for maxillary molar intrusion and retention.
  • The method may be valuable for orthodontists treating complex molar eruption and impaction cases.
