Uprighting a Mesially Tilted Molar Using Customized Titanium Healing Abutment of an Adjacent Osseointegrated Implant

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

This case report evaluates the use of a customized healing abutment of a dental implant to upright a mesially tilted molar using elastic separating rings. The external surface of the healing abutment was roughened by air particle abrasion, and a flowable composite was applied as a collar around it. The size of the resin collar was increased several times during the molar uprighting treatment by replacing the elastic ring. The uprighting procedure was evaluated after 2 months using radiographic and clinical evaluations. After treatment, the mesiodistal space above the implant was increased from 6 mm to 9 mm as follows: 2 mm by uprighting the second molar and 1 mm by mesial shifting the second premolar, and then a screw-retained zirconia crown was placed to restore the implant. The healing abutment of the implant can be modified by adding a resin collar and used as orthodontic anchorage for uprighting the adjacent tilted molar to facilitate the prosthetic procedure. Neither special instruments nor an orthodontic background are required for this minor tooth movement.
