Question 2/7/2025
Molar uprighting before implant — ortho or surgical?
Need to upright a mesially-tipped #18 before placing an implant in the #19 site. About 25° of tilt. **Options I'm considering:** 1. TAD + uprighting spring (6-8 months?) 2. Refer to OMFS for surgical uprighting 3. Just place a tilted implant with angled abutment **Context:** Patient is 58, good bone, motivated but doesn't want ortho if avoidable. What's your go-to approach here? Anyone have experience with surgical uprighting?
