Resumo
Objective: To present a case report that used an osseointegrated implant as skeletal anchorage unit in association
with fixed orthodontic appliance for the treatment of an adult patient with vertical asymmetric skeletal
discrepancy. Case report: In this case, the pre-existing osseointegrated implant in the region of element 21
was used as an auxiliary of skeletal anchorage for leveling the upper occlusal plane. This was performed
with the straight wire technique, Capelozza prescription pattern I, .022” slot, using the sequence of thermal-
-activated nickel-titanium arches of .014”, .016”, .017”X.025” and .019”X.025”, followed by the steel arch of
.019” X.025”. Final considerations: The results presented in this report showed the osseointegrated implant as
a good option when used as a resource of auxiliary anchorage in orthodontics, providing better comfort and
aesthetic conditions to the treatment and simplifying the technique.
