Abstract

including a more complicated surgical procedure, a recommended period of osseointegration prior to loading and expense, which may limit availability to some patients. The MDI system, which has been recently approved as an ongoing minidental implant, avoids some of these limitations by permitting the clinician to insert and, in many instances, immediately load with predictable results. Mini dental implants are finding their way into implant dentistry in that they offer a less expensive form of treatment that can be used as a transitional device in conjunction with conventional fixtures or as a standalone ongoing implant. This presentation will describe the use of mini dental implants, patient selection, limitations, and insertion protocol for use in the edentulous mandible and maxilla. A hands-on exercise will be provided.
