One of the most common oral surgical procedures is the extraction of the lower third molar (LTM). Postoperative complications such as paresthesia due to inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury are commonly observed in cases of horizontal and vertical impaction. The present report discusses a case of a vertically impacted LTM associated with a dentigerous cyst. An intimate contact between the LTM roots and the mandibular canal was observed on a panoramic radiograph and confirmed with cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) cross-sectional cuts. An orthodontic miniscrew was then used to extrude the LTM prior to its surgical removal in order to avoid the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury. CBCT imaging follow-up confirmed the success of the LTM orthodontic extrusion.

Recently several techniques have been reported for the treatment of anterior open bite in adults characterized by molar intrusion with skeletal anchorage. In this study, five adult patients who had anterior open bite malocclusion were selected to undergo upper molar intrusion with midpalatal miniscrew to close the open bite. The aim of this study is (1) to validate true intrusion of molars in adults (2) to test the usefullness of midpalatal miniscrews as anchorage for intruding upper molars (3) to evaluate the skeletal and dental changes of open bite closure. The results are as follows. (1) All had true intrusion of the maxillary molars. Mean amount of molar intrusion was 3.4mm(range 1.5-5mm). (2) No movement of midpalatal miniscrew occurred during their use. (3) Open bite closure was achieved for all 5 patients. The mandible closed and B-point rotated anteriorly and upward. The mandibular plane angle and the occlusal plane angle decreased.
