Abstract
To demonstrate a case report using a miniscrew implant in an over erupted molar intrusion as a preprosthodontic treatment. Clinicians face a challenge when treating edentulism because antagonistic teeth frequently supra‐erupt into the edentulous site, reducing the vertical dimension available for tooth replacement. As a result, it is necessary to restore the lost vertical dimension before placing the implant prosthesis, either traditionally through endodontic and prosthetic intervention or through intrusion using temporary anchorage devices (TADs). The supra‐eruption of antagonist teeth in a patient with missing molars who wanted replacement teeth provided a challenge during prosthetic treatment. In addition to prosthetic rehabilitation, orthodontic intrusion using mini‐implants was carried out to restore the lost vertical space. The present case report illustrates the beneficial effects of mini‐implants in molar intrusion for establishing an ideal CHS (Crown Height Space) for implant prosthesis to restore masticatory function.
