Abstract
This case report presents the use of orthodontic micro screw implants to intrude an overerupted maxillary first molar as a strategy to obtain adequate interocclusal space for replacing a missing first lower opposing molar. A 37-year-old female who have recently finished her orthodontic treatment and a mandibular first molar missing was treated for the tooth replacement and successful intrusion of the opposing molar using two orthodontic micro screw implants previous to the final restoration. This is a conservative approach to avoid this kind of situations that can complicate the prosthetic treatment.
