Tooth loss can cause implications for both the adjacent teeth, which present inclinations, and for the antagonists that suffer extrusion. This work aims to report, through a literature review, the applicability and efficiency of the MPO in situations where it is necessary to perform a treatment of intrusion of upper molars, as well as to demonstrate results with the functionality and aesthetics that the procedure delivers. Several methods are used in the repair of dental conditions for a future rehabilitation of the antagonist, and the conventional methods imply in several obstacles, among them the aesthetic implications, displacements in the anchorage unit and exclusive participation of the patient, which may not guarantee the success of the planned intrusive mechanics. A recent technology that is showing a lot of versatility is the mini-implant through the MPO (orthodontic mini screws), simplifying the mechanics used through a screw, guaranteeing the necessary stability to perform the desired movements with more control and predictability, thus avoiding adverse effects. Collateral. MPOs are more efficient in orthodontic anchorage than conventional techniques, in addition to being a method that does not require patient cooperation. These devices demonstrated to be an alternative for solving cases considered complex or difficult.
