Short epithetic implants for orthodontic anchorage in the paramedian region of the palate. A clinical study.
Clinical Oral Implants Research 2001 December
Orthodontic movement of teeth often requires maximum anchorage, so that additional resistance must be added to teeth to avoid reaction to reciprocal forces. Thus, use of endosseous implants may be a valuable alternative for ensuring stable intraoral anchorage. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of short epithetic implants for orthodontic anchorage in the paramedian region of the palate. Twenty-one patients (15 female, 6 male; mean age 25.8+/-9.9 yrs, min 12.7, max. 48.1) were included in this study. Following adequate preoperative planning, an implant system with reduced length, which had already been used for anchorage of epitheses, was placed in the paramedian region avoiding the anterior palatine suture. After a mean period of 4 months with unloaded healing, the implants were subjected to direct or indirect orthodontic loading. Despite varying bone quality and varying vertical bone volume in this region, adequate primary stability was achieved for all of the implants. No implant was lost during the healing period. Three out of the 21 implants placed were considered as failures. Two implants loosened shortly after the start of orthodontic loading. One of these was lost at a later stage due to peri-implant inflammation, while the other one was left in place during the 9-month follow-up period because no inflammation developed and this implant is still indirectly included in the orthodontic treatment. Another implant loosening was observed after 8.5 months following direct loading with 8 N. This implant was also lost due to peri-implant inflammation. The time-related survival probability was 84.8% after 22.9 months. As yet, 4 implants have been removed due to completion of orthodontic treatment. The results of this study indicate that short epithetic implants are suitable to achieve maximum anchorage in the paramedian region of the hard palate in orthodontic treatment.
