Abstract
Statement Of Problem:
The use of implants for orthodontic anchorage can produce superior preprosthetic tooth positions. Their use often requires a crown or prosthesis to be fabricated for use as a connection between the orthodontic devices and the implant.
Purpose:
In this article, factors that affect the design of prostheses required for orthodontic movement and examples of prosthesis designs and materials, based on the authors' experience, are presented.
