Tooth loss can be a problem when orthodontic appliances have to be stabilized for treatment. It has been shown that endosseous titanium implants are well integrated during treatment of edentulous patients with intra-osseous anchored bridges. In the present investigation titanium implants were inserted immediately after tooth extraction. After tissue-integration of the implants they were successfully used for anchorage when orthodontic treatment was performed. In a clinical situation the implants may simultaneously be used for reconstruction of the bite.
