Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been developed to be used as direct adjuncts in orthodontic treatment and have facilitated treatment of more complex orthodontic cases, including patients with dental impaction. Objectives: This clinical case reports the applicability of TADs in the orthodontic treatment of a patient with impacted mandibular second molars. Surgical and orthodontic procedures related to the use of miniplates were also discussed in this study. Conclusions: The use of temporary anchorage devices, such as miniplates, can be suggested as an alternative to treat patients with impacted mandibular second molars.

Highlights

Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been developed to be used as direct adjuncts in orthodontic treatment and have facilitated treatment of more complex orthodontic cases, including patients with dental impaction
Orthodontic anchorage has been considered relevant in providing satisfactory clinical results
The case described in this study demonstrates a relatively unusual event, since the most common dental impaction is unilateral.[14]

Esses dispositivos facilitam o tratamento ortodôntico de casos mais complexos, incluindo pacientes com dentes impactados. Objetivos: o presente relato de caso reporta a aplicabilidade dos dispositivos de ancoragem temporária no tratamento ortodôntico de um paciente com segundos molares inferiores impactados. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos e ortodônticos relacionados ao uso das miniplacas também são discutidos nesse estudo.Conclusões: o uso de dispositivos de ancoragem temporária, tais como as miniplacas, pode ser sugerido como uma alternativa no tratamento de pacientes com segundos molares inferiores impactados.
