Aspectos biológicos da movimentação ortodôntica: intrusão Dentária

Abstract

The aim of this work is to report a case of oral rehabilitation, with emphasis on dental intrusion, which was part of its treatment. In addition to promoting a literature review on the effectiveness of such treatment and its biological aspects, we are going to analyze its viability, limitations, benefits, techniques employed in previous research, and mainly discuss about the need for appropriate interdisciplinary approach, and its controversies in the literature about this subject. Dentists must establish good interdisciplinary communication, as orthodontics, among mini implants is becoming increasingly a supplement for oral rehabilitation. Although controversial, the tissue reaction varies with periodontal status at the start of treatment. The intrusion should be performed, preferably, in patients who have meticulous oral hygiene and healthy gum condition and the force applied by the mini-implants should be light and continuous.
