title: [Uprighting of a tipped lower second molar with the aid of a microscrew anchorage. A case report].
abstract: Titanium microscrews for orthodontic anchorage purposes have been developed in different designs and dimensions by a number of manufacturers. Whereas conventional implants need a relatively extensive bone supply and the insertion sites are limited, microscrews offer a more flexible range of applications. They also offer crucial advantages such as simple, atraumatic insertion and removal, a minimum patient stress and a favourable cost-benefit ratio. In the present case report the successful orthodontic uprighting of a tipped second lower molar using a microscrew demonstrated.
