Abstract

Statement of problem. The use of implants for orthodontic anchorage can produce superior preprosthetic tooth positions. Their use often requires a crown or prosthesis to be fabricated for use as a connection between the orthodontic devices and the implant. Purpose. In this article, factors that affect the design of prostheses required for orthodontic movement and examples of prosthesis designs and materials, based on the authors' experience, are presented.
