Mission : I'm possible in orthodontics
Control of anchorage is one of the most important aspects of orthodontics.
Many traditional treatment protocols have incorporated both extraoral
(headgear) and intraoral (intermaxillary elastics) approaches to maintain or
reinforce anchorage. Unfortunately, patient compliance is often considered
the “Achilles heel” of controlled tooth movement. Even in well motivated
and cooperative patients, some malocclusions can be still impossible to treat
with conventional orthodontic treatment and methods. Nowadays, with the
help of microimplants, many cases previously thought impossible to treat
with conventional treatment can now being treated. This presentation will
guide the clinician in the selection of proper microimplant sizes and shapes,
the sites of microimplant placement, surgical procedures, and ways to avoid
complications and improve success rates. Case reports will illustrate the
many uses of these devices in routine orthodontic treatment, including
bodily retraction of anterior teeth, Class II & III molar correction, molar
intrusion in openbite patients and retraction of the entire dentition etc.
Learning objective;
 Understand the variety of ways microimplants can be used in
orthodontic therapy
 Become aware of the different requirements according to site
selection
 Become familiar with the surgical placement of these devices
 Understand the management of complications following implant
placement
