- Abstract
- The patient was an adolescent boy, aged 15.6 years, with a mutilated dentition. He had extrusion of the maxillary left first molar because of loss of the mandibular first molar and lingual tilting and rotation of the mandibular second molars. Both left and right second molars were in scissors-bite that was more severe on the left side. By using mini-implants and a TPA with hooks, a 3-mm intrusion was successfully made on the maxillary left first molar. This provided room for mesial movement of the mandibular left second molar. The second molar was protracted into the space of the missing first molar, and the mandibular left third molar was positioned in place of the second molar. The second molars scissors-bite was corrected. Active treatment took 45 months, and the treatment result remained stable 2 years after debonding.
