Forced eruption with microscrew anchorage for preprosthetic leveling of the gingival margin. Case report.
Dental esthetics are often impaired by a disharmonious contour of the gingival margin in the anterior region. However, the soft tissue contour can be improved by orthodontic eruption of the relevant teeth prior to prosthodontic treatment. The successful use of an orthodontic microscrew implant as anchorage for the eruption appliance is demonstrated in a case report.
