Case Study #3

This patient was referred for closure of #23 extraction space and 3mm of
mandibular incisor intrusion as well as Pre Orthodontic Periodontal Augmentation (POPA) for teeth 21-28 inclusive. We placed a KLS Martin bone anchor and completed POPA treatment including substantial grafting and began orthodontic treatment the same day as surgery. Tooth movement was completed in less than 3 months. The lower images depict the new bone growth around the anchor observed at the time of anchor removal.
