title: Simplified orthodontic tooth movement with dental implants and orthodontic elastics: a clinical report.
abstract: Lack of adequate mesiodistal space and/or incorrect implant placement may not provide adequate space for the fabrication, insertion, and maintenance of implant crowns. This report describes the clinical presentation of a patient requiring restoration of a dental implant without adequate interproximal space due to mesial drift of the adjacent tooth. Orthodontic tooth movement was achieved with an osseointegrated dental implant and orthodontic elastics.
