Abstract:

Orthodontic treatment for correction of malocclusion can be taxing to a patient in terms of the duration of time taken for treatment. Absence of
mandibular molars in such cases can result in the relapse of occlusal correction achieved over a period of years. A single implant restoration on the other hand, take their own time for completing osseointegration. We present a case of a young adult who had both mandibular first molars absent and was undergoing orthodontic treatment for correction of malocclusion. A single implant fixture was placed during orthodontic treatment and as soon as the fixed orthodontic appliance was removed, a metal, ceramic single crown was fabricated over the implant fixture. The occlusion was stabilized and the chances of orthodontic relapse were minimized.

Keywords:
