Abstract
Currently, a method for dental implantation has occupied a reliable position in the structure of dental aid. Dental mini-implants with the diameter of less than 3 mm are often used for implantation. They are applied for fixation of removable dental prostheses, thus, increasing its stability and as abbatments for fixation of short nonremovable constructions. Mini-implants are indicated when thickness of the alveolar crest is insufficient for placing traditional implants, but the bone structure preserved. The main reason for developing inflammatory process in the periimplant tissues in the late postoperative period is non-observance of the schedule of patients’ visits to parodontist (hygienist). Implants constantly contact with different liquids in the oral cavity (oral, gingival, food). Besides, prosthetic construction on implants is a substance accumulating microbial residue, which, in its turn, can be the source for developing inflammatory reaction in the implant-surrounding tissue. Therefore, qualitative professional hygiene and use of modern means for individual hygiene of the oral cavity as a whole and prosthetic construction on implants, in particular, is an important constituent of successful dental treatment. The data of literature regarding modern methods for hygienic care of prosthetic constructions on mini-dental implants are analyzed in the present paper.
