Abstract

Dental implants of smaller diameter have been used for almost 20 years, but recently, dental manufacturers have presented mini dental implants (MDIs) with diameter of only 1.8-2.4 mm. These implants allow very suitable prosthetic solutions within the range of their indication, due to good osseointegration success rates, simple surgical technique and immediate loading possibility. The case presents implantation of four mini implants Sendax type (IMTEC) in mental region, in order to obtain better retention and stability of the complete denture, and to improve function and phonation. The use of those implants, among afore mentioned preferences, is also very cost effective, so this implantological possibility should be taken into consideration during prosthetic treatment planning of the edentulous mandible. 

Key words: Prosthetics; Implantology, Mini Dental Implants; Overdentures.
