INTERDISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF SUPRAERUPTED PREMOLAR: A CASE REPORT

Prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients with missing teeth are often complicated by situations such as supraeruption of the teeth in the opposite arch, rotation/tilting of the teeth adjacent to the edentulous space. Delayed replacement of missing teeth complicates both functional and aesthetic prosthodontic rehabilitation. However, such situations can be overcome by an interdisciplinary approach of Prosthodontics with Orthodontics. In order to align and place teeth, various orthodontic procedures, such as intrusion utilizing Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), are used. Prosthodontic rehabilitation can then be used to restore the missing tooth or teeth with the best possible function and appearance. This article aims to demonstrate the importance of multidisciplinary approachthrough a case which was prosthodontically restored after orthodontic alignment.
