Mini Implants

Mini Implants

Mini implants are small-sized implants commonly used in the fields of dentistry and oral surgery. These implants, smaller in size compared to traditional implants, are preferred especially in cases where conventional implant placement is challenging due to limited bone volume or other surgical difficulties. Here is some general information about mini implants:

Size and Structure:

• Mini implants are typically small, with diameters ranging from 1.8 mm to 3.0 mm and lengths between 10 mm and 15 mm.
• They are often made of titanium, ensuring durability and good tolerance by the body.

Areas of Application:

• Stabilizing dentures: Mini implants can be used to stabilize or retain complete dentures, allowing patients to have a more secure prosthesis.
• Limited bone volume: In situations where traditional implant placement is challenging, mini implants may be preferred due to their smaller size.

Advantages:

• Less invasive: The placement of mini implants typically requires less surgical intervention.
• Shorter healing time: Due to their smaller size, mini implants generally result in faster healing.
• Cost-effectiveness: They are often more economical compared to traditional implants.

Application Process:

• Mini implants are usually placed under local anesthesia.
• After being inserted into the bone, they can be connected to prosthetics or other dental applications.
• Following the healing process, patients can return to their normal daily activities.

Care and Durability:

• Mini implants require good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
• With proper care and under suitable conditions, mini implants can last for many years.
