Abstract:: The GISP (Graz Implant Supported Pendulum) is an appliance consisting of 2 parts (one fixed and one removable) which was developed to distalize maxillary molars uni- or bilaterally. In the current design the fixed part consists of a titanium plate with 2 pins which is placed directly to the palatal mucosa with 3 locking miniimplants (TriLock(R) System; Medartis, Basel, Switzerland). The heads of the miniimplants are sunk into special cavities of the plate and locked to ensure the mucosa is not compressed, as the pressure generated during distalization is thereby transferred to the bone instead. The part containing the pendulum springs is removable and can easily be plugged in and out. Reactivations are made extraorally. The significant characteristic of this device is that it can be easily removed and permits control of movement in all planes of space such as distalization, uprighting and expansion of molars. The fabrication and use of the appliance is illustrated by clinical examples, emphasizing the difference to other distalizing appliances anchored in the palate.
