The Journal of Oral Implantology
|January 1, 1993
Summary
Dental implants can be used for orthodontic anchorage and tooth movement, later supporting fixed prostheses. This dual application streamlines treatment planning and execution in a multidisciplinary dental approach.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Orthodontics
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Endosseous implants have been utilized for intra-oral anchorage in orthodontic treatment.
- Previous applications primarily focused on implants solely for anchorage purposes.
- Limited research explores the dual role of implants in both tooth movement and prosthetic support.
