What are mini implants?
Mini implants or Small diameter implants have been in use since the mid 1970s. These implants were initially used to increase the stability of dentures. However its use has largely spread to the areas of fixed restorations (crowns and bridges).
Missing upper premolars removed. Teeth replaced by two porcelain crowns supported by mini implants.
Upper premolar destroyed beyond repair. A mini implant was placed immediately and restored with a full porcelain crown.
Patient had lost lower teeth. Lower Mini Implants allowed better stability and function of the full lower denture.
Patient had lost teeth and suffered from a blood disorder. Mini Implants allowed a better stability and retention using a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
A 84-year-old lady had missing upper right teeth and hopeless upper lateral incisor. 3 mini implants were placed and restored with a porcelain fused to metal bridge.
Patient had failing upper anterior bridge. All ceramic crowns replaced the upper central incisors, upper left lateral incisor and the supernumerary upper left lateral incisor.
The remaining upper teeth were removed, a temporary full upper denture was used whilst the 10 mini implants were placed and subsequently restored.
We placed 4 mini implants and soon after delivered a new upper removable denture retained by natural teeth and implants.
Patient presented with multiple missing teeth. In the upper right side we decided to restore the missing tooth with a mini implant supported crown.
Missing lower left posterior teeth. We had quite ideal conditions so 2 standard implants were placed, followed by 2 screw retained individual crowns, which allows its retrievability.
