Abstract:

Small diameter implants are gaining in acceptance for routine dental treatment. These implants may be used in selected patients in selected sites. This lecture covers the basic physiological, surgical and restorative principles for successful mini implant treatment. Not all patients or sites are amenable to successful mini implant treatment. Careful site and patient selection is important. Also, a narrower implant may best serve patients who require stabilization of lower jaw dentures, pre-molar teeth or a missing tooth that was located in a narrow area. A small number of narrower implants are FDA-approved for the purpose of prosthesis stabilization, including the mini dental implant.
