A mini-implant was used to extrude a short abutment tooth for a fixed partial denture. This approach conserved healthy teeth by reducing the need for additional bonding.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Fixed partial dentures require adequate abutment tooth structure.
  • Short abutment teeth can complicate prosthetic treatment planning.
  • Tooth extrusion is an alternative to surgical crown lengthening or orthodontic movement.

Observation:

  • A case report details the use of a mini-implant for abutment extrusion.
  • The mini-implant facilitated the controlled eruption of a shortened abutment tooth.
  • This was performed in preparation for a four-unit anterior fixed partial denture.

Findings:

  • The mini-implant successfully extruded the abutment tooth to a suitable height.
  • This technique allowed for fewer teeth to be incorporated into the fixed partial denture.

  • Preservation of adjacent healthy teeth was achieved.

    • Implications:

    • Mini-implant-assisted extrusion offers a minimally invasive option for managing short abutments.
    • This method can enhance treatment predictability and preserve tooth structure.
    • It presents a viable alternative in prosthetic and restorative dentistry.
