Dental Implants

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants were originally used as transitional implants to support provisional restorations in a single stage surgery and were designed to be immediately loaded. These transitional implants were removed at the end of the provisionalisation period.

On 2004, mini dental implants, approved as conventional implants, were introduced. These dental implants are made of commercially pure titanium or alloy designed as 1 piece implants. It is composed of screw retained, cement retained or attachment superstructures.

Mini dental implants have a self threading tapered screw design with diamete of 1.8 to 2.4 mm and length of 7 mm to 14 mm.

MDIs (mini dental implants) placed with flapless surgery to support dentures present a revolutionary method of restoring patients with atrophic mandibles.

Advantages of this procedure include dental implant placement without any bone augmentation surgery, minimally invasive surgery with virtually no bleeding. With MDI, the cost of treatment is more affordable than conventional dental implants.
