Abstract:
Maxillary molars can over‐erupt when their antagonists are lost and there are no replacements. When the opposing molars severely extrude into the edentulous space, it is difficult to replace the missing teeth with either fixed or removable prostheses. We present the following case report, providing a solution for this type of problem. A two‐stage posterior subapical osteotomy was used to reestablish the intermaxillary space. Following orthodontic treatment and implant placement, the patient regained occlusal harmony and normal masticatory function.
