The Use of Implants at an Increased Vertical Dimension of Occlusion to Correct a Scissor Bite: A Case Report

Abstract

Abstract - Traditional methods of achieving anchorage for orthodontic treatment are dependant on the presence of a sufficient number of teeth with adequate root support. With the success and predictability of osseo-integration, dental implants are being used frequently to obtain absolute anchorage. This case report illustrates the successful use of implants with a combined orthodontic-restorative approach to obtain anchorage in a partially dentate patient to correct a transverse cross-bite (scissor bite) relationship. The implants were subsequently restored to replace missing posterior teeth. The importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to planning and close liaison between the orthodontist, surgeon and restorative dentist during the treatment phase are discussed.
