title: Simplified abutment tooth extrusion using a mini-implant.
abstract: This is the report of a patient with an anterior four-unit fixed partial denture in whom a screw was used to extrude a too-short abutment tooth. Due to the mini-implant, fewer teeth needed to be bonded, thereby keeping more teeth out of harm's way.
