Aims/ Objectives

<Menu

Current Options for the Edentulous

Complete Dentures

<Menu


Overdentures Retained by Implants

<Menu


Bridgework Supported by Implants

<Menu

Option 1:A Denture.• Low cost/Simplicity but difficulties

when faced with:

• Little/ no ridge

• No retention/ resistance

<Menu

Option 1:A Denture.• Sore spots/ constant Easing

• Aesthetic Compromise

<Menu

Consequently:• Looseness

• Pain/ ulceration

• Lack of Confidence

• Difficulty with eating

<Menu

• “ It makes me gag”• “ It hurts when I chew”• “ I can’t taste my food”• “ I hate it !” • “ I take it out to eat”

<Menu

Anti-Ageing

<Menu

Mini Dental Implants(MDI’s)• Over 20 year history• No long term studies• Some early studies:

<Menu

Mini Dental Implants(MDI’s)

Currently 4 years of Datashowing only 2.1% loss.

<Menu

Mini Dental Implants(MDI’s)Historically used as temporary or

transitional implants to secure

Temporaries whilst conventional implants were undergoing healing phase

<Menu

Mini Dental Implants(MDI’s)Now some FDA approved

for long term use for fixed and removable protheses.

<Menu

MDI Features• Implants are Surfaced Etched• Self-tapping Thread Design• High-Strength Titanium Alloy Material• Integrated Abutment

Advantages of Mini Implants• Minimally invasive surgery• Cost effective• Immediate loading• Suitable for Resorbed Ridges

<Menu

Advantages of Mini Implants• Minimal post-op Discomfort• Can be used on almost all ridges•Can be performed by the patients

general dentist

<Menu

Is this the End of Conventional Implants?

<Menu

NO!!!!MDI’s are an alternative to dentures,

bridges and conventional implants

in certain situations

<Menu

NO!!!!They are often a third way

in between dentures

and more complex implant treatments

<Menu

NO!!!!The Patient will end up with a different

product

compared with conventional implants

<Menu

The most important thing is to give the patient the Choice

<Menu

Many patients who would not consider

conventional implant treatment due to:• Fear of complex surgery• Timescale of treatment: up to 2 years• Cost

<Menu

• Limited bone availability: do not want grafting

• may proceed with mini dental implants

<Menu

Mini Dental Implants• They are ‘consumer friendly’• They widen the market of prospective

patients• They require less investment of time

and money from the Dentist due to their relative simplicity

<Menu

Patient Selection Criteria• Who is a candidate for

MDI?• Difficulty wearing

lower denture!!! etc.

<Menu

Patient Selection Criteria• Cannot tolerate a palate on upper• Anatomically

compromised• Patient wants to feel

more confident, etc.

<Menu

Are MDI’s Good for everyone?• Medically Compromised ? • A wider range of Patients can be treated • No incision in most cases

<Menu

Are MDI’s Good for everyone?• Low morbidity• Low infection• Non-invasive

<Menu

Are MDI’s Good for everyone?• What about patients taking steroids?• Contraindicated for most implants,

but can be done with MDI

<Menu

Are MDI’s Good for everyone?• What about patients taking blood

thinners?• Less of a problem unless a flap is needed• Consult with Patient’s Physician

<Menu

Are MDI’s Good for Everyone?

• Anatomically Compromised ?

• Many patients do not have adequate bone

support to accept the large size of conventional implants.

.

<Menu


• Anatomically Compromised ?

• MDI’s can be used in almost any ridge and on patients with severe alveolar ridge resorption.

<Menu

Are MDI’s Good for Everyone?• Fewer visits to the dental surgery• Can be performed by the General Dentist

<Menu


Financially Compromised ?• Fewer visits to the dental surgery• Can be performed by the General Dentist

<Menu

Mini Dental Implants

Their biggest application is in the stabilisation of Complete lower dentures.

Mini Dental Implant Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

<Menu

Treatment Plan• Occlusal Dynamics• Oral Hygiene• General health/ medical history• Psychological/ social status• Aesthetics: smile line• Anatomy

<Menu

Anatomy

<Menu

Anatomical Considerations• Mandibular Nerve• Mental Nerve• Sub- mental artery

<Menu

Anatomical Considerations• Maxillary Sinus• Nasal Sinus• Other teeth/ roots

<Menu

Bone Quality and Quantity • Rate Density - 1,2,3,4• 1 - Very dense bone: difficult surgically• 2 - Moderately dense bone

Classic Mandibular Bone

<Menu

Bone Quality and Quantity • 3 - Low density bone

Maxillary bone or soft mandibular spongy bone: modify protocol

• 4 - Very low density bonePoor candidate for MDI

<Menu

Assess the Bone• Height • Width• Shape• Angulation

<Menu

Assess The Bone• Using Ridge Mapping, Radiographs,

CT scans,• Sectional Radiographs, Scanora,etc

<Menu

1 - Radiographic Planning

Panoramic X-RayAssists in planning Implant placement

<Menu

1 - Radiographic PlanningPencil radiograph in region of canine

and 1st premolaranterior to mental nerve canal

<Menu

1 - Radiographic PlanningPencil radiographand in region of

lateral incisor Region

<Menu

Implant Placement Procedure

<Menu

2 - Mark Denture and Transfer

• Using the pencil marks made on the radiograph as a guide, mark DRY denture heavily with skin marker.

<Menu


Next DRY Patient’s arch and place denture

in mouth.

<Menu


You may darken transfer spots with marker for

APPROXIMATE placement of implants.

<Menu

3- Assess Vertical Bone Height :• MDIs are 10mm. - 18mm. Long• Less than 10 mm = Poor Candidate for

MDI• Use longest implant possible

Mandibular – 2/3 total height• Maxillary - 90%

<Menu

4 - Create Pilot HoleFirst Palpate to assess

the Angulation of the Ridge.

<Menu

4 - Create Pilot HoleAfter measuring depth, drill pilot

hole with a tapping motion using saline

irrigation.

<Menu

4 - Create Pilot HoleDrill depth according

to bone density evaluation.

<Menu

5 - Implant Insertion

Do not contaminate the implant surface

<Menu


Insert implant into pilot opening

through gingiva to bone: take care not

to trap tissue

<Menu


Rotate clockwise with downward

pressure

<Menu

6 - Finger Driver

Continue insertion of implant with finger

driver until firm bony resistance is again

met. met.

<Menu

6 - Finger Driver

Then follow with winged thumb

wrench SLOWLY, again until firm bony

resistance is met.

<Menu

7 - Ratchet Wrench

If bone is extremely dense use of ratchet wrench is needed.

<Menu

7 - Ratchet Wrench

SLOW incremental turns will allow full

insertion without snapping of the

implant.

<Menu

7 - Ratchet Wrench

Pressure should be applied downward on the ‘head’ of the

ratchet during insertion.

<Menu

7 - Ratchet Wrench

If VERY HEAVY resistance is noticed,

back implant out

<Menu

7 - Ratchet Wrench

and make pilot hole deeper. DO NOT

force ratchet or implant may snap at

neck.

<Menu

8 - Complete Insertion

Complete the insertion of all implants.

<Menu


Insert implants completely so that no

threads are supragingival.

<Menu


Check primary fixation with torque wrench

<Menu

Postoperative X-ray

<Menu

Denture Placement and Prosthetic Technique

Phase 3

<Menu


Positioning should be close to original plan, make holes in denture

with lab bur on premarked locations.

<Menu


Place housing abutments on implant

o-balls.

<Menu


Try-in denture for full seating.

Use fit checker

<Menu

Denture Placement and Prosthetic Technique, (cont.)

Fill holes in denture with implant housing

attachment resin.

<Menu


Protect exposed implant head to prevent

engaging undercut.

<Menu


Place denture on o-ring housings and have patient bite gently using previous

registration to seat denture and hold for

setting of resin/acrylic.

<Menu


Remove denture and assess security of housing in denture.

.

<Menu


Add flowable resin (light cured), cold cured acrylic or cyanoacrylate if loose..

<Menu


Trim excess material and smooth tissue surface of denture to avoid sore spots.

.

<Menu


Also shorten boarders of denture.

<Menu

Post Operative Instructions• Prescribe analgesics• Ice Applications• Warm saltwater• Wear Denture for 24 hours• See patient next day

<Menu

24 Hours Later• Adjust denture• Most likely there will be adjustments• Some will have denture sores

developing• Adjust spots and check occlusion

<Menu

24 Hours Later

• Instruct to wear denture as much as possible over next week and to call if there is a problem.

• See patient in three days and one week post-op.

Lateral Case

<Menu

Immediate Loading• Introduced by Linkow in the 60’s• Well established in the mandible• Not yet in the maxilla• Primary stability greater than 30 Ncm• Micro movement 50-150 microns

<Menu

MDI’s aren’t Voodoo• Its what yoodoo that counts.• How many implants do you need to

restore a full jaw?• The principles of Osseointegration still

apply:

<Menu

MDI’s aren’t Voodoo• Primary fixation• Oral health• No/ limited micro movement• Biomechanics

<Menu

Other Applications?• Transitional – during the healing phase

of conventional implants• Salvage cases• Retention of Partial Dentures• Fixed Crown and Bridge? BEWARE!• Single tooth - Lateral incisors with mild

occlusal forces. Lower incisors.

<Menu

Other Applications?• Distal abutment - Free end saddle

<Menu

The New Mini/ Midi Implant• Increased Surface Area: comparable

with conventional implants• Improved Strength• Improved Retention• Improved Fixation

<Menu

Assess the Bone• Height • Width• Shape• Angulation

<Menu

Assess The Bone• Using ridge mapping, radiographs,

CT scans,• Sectional radiographs, Scanora,etc

<Menu

Auto Advancing Technique• Similar Effect to Using Osteotomes• Implant is creating a channel by pushing

spongious bone to the side• Implant is intimately in contact with the

bone

<Menu

Ridge Expansion/ Compression• Established over 30 years ago• Scientifically valid• Involves opening the ridge and

displacing it

<Menu

• Creates a Series of microfractures• Heal readily especially if stable

and with periosteum intact

<Menu

Expansion and CompressionPhenomenomTM

<Menu

Simultaneous Expansion and CompressionProducing Improved Primary Stability

Particularly Suitable for Type 2 and 3 Bone i.e. Maxilla

<Menu

Expansion and Compression• Smooth and Progressive• Improves surrounding bone quality• Creates a wall of dense bone around

the implant• Improves the fixation ( torque check)

Scientific Principles• Undisturbed healing phase• Biomechanics• Prosthetic Success

<Menu

Principles ExaminedBiocompatibility:

Titanium Alloy well established as a biocompatible implant material

<Menu

Principles ExaminedImplant Surface:

Implant is a threaded screw etched and blasted

<Menu

Principles ExaminedImplant Site:

Placement site is always improved by ‘Osteo- Expression’

<Menu

Simultaneous Expansion and CompressionProducing Improved Primary Stability

Particularly Suitable for Type 2 and 3 Bone i.e. Maxilla

<Menu

Advantages of the Self Tapping Tapered Design

• Avoids drilling the bone/ minimal risk of overheating

• Progressive expansion and condensation more controlled than using osteotomes

• Less need to sedate the patient

<Menu

4. The Surgical TechniqueFlapless Surgery

• In use for over 30 years by many surgeons: Tatum, Hahn, Roberts, etc

• Maintains the periosteum which provides the blood supply

• Chanavaz J Oral Implantol 1995;21:214-219

<Menu

4. The Surgical TechniqueFlapless Surgery

• Maintains keratinised tissue which act as a physical barrier to plaque invasion

• Lower incidence of surgical complications

<Menu

5. Undisturbed Healing/Immediate Loading

• Dependent on good fixation > 25Ncm• Micromovement less than 100 microns• Controlled Load

<Menu
