Mini Dental
Implants
What you know about Mini Dental Implants?
The MDI System consists of a miniature titanium
implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a
retaining fixture that is incorporated into the
crown and bridges or can be used also in the base of
your denture, The implant fixtures allow for
micro-mobility while withstanding natural lifting
forces.
Mini Implants also can be used in full and sectional
bridge?
These mini implants can be used in full and
sectional bridge. However, multiple implants will be
inserted for more added stability. In the past
several years, clinicians have been utilizing MDI's
for single tooth replacements and in crown and
bridge cases.
Is the Mini Dental Implant FDA approved?
Yes. Prior to his preliminary discussions with Dr.
Bulard, Dr. Sendax had submitted a formal
application to the FDA in Washington, DC seeking
permission to market the mini dental implant devices
to the general public. After providing satisfactory
technical and clinical evidence to that agency that
the product was safe for public use and in fact had
beneficial attributes, the FDA granted its formal
consent to market the Mini Dental Implant device not
only as a transitional or temporary dental product,
but significantly, as a long-term item. ( IMTEC was
the first company to receive long-term approval of
its MDI implants from the FDA, and for several
years, was the only company to have that
distinction.) As stated, IMTEC's introduction of the
Mini Dental Implant to the dental industry and
appropriate marketing efforts under a license
granted by Dr. Sendax followed the FDA's consent to
market.
When can Mini Dental Implants be used?
When critically needed for support purposes, and
where solid bony adaptation (integration) has
clearly occurred, mini implants can function as
long-term supporting structures rather than as
short-term or medium term devices. In fact, some
have been successfully functioning in patients' jaws
for several decades. In the past several years,
clinicians have been utilizing MDI's for single
tooth replacements and in crown and bridge cases.

What about
failures with Mini Dental Implants?
It must be recognized that all implant systems as
well as natural teeth are subject to potential
failure due to natural causes, including
osteoporosis, poor oral hygiene, wear and tear
attrition, poor health, heavy, stressful biting
habits, and lack of follow-up dental maintenance
care. Mini implants similarly do not carry any
actual or implied guarantee as to longevity.
However, the loss of a Mini Dental Implant is a far
less critical event to the patient since it may be
replaced at relatively minimal cost compared to
conventional implants, and with minimal associated
bone or gum deterioration.
How Mini Dental Implants differ?
As a revolutionary departure from routine dental
implant methods, Mini Dental Implants are so narrow
they are typically inserted directly through the
overlying gum tissue and into the bone underneath.
Consequently the need to surgically cut and "flap"
open the gum tissue, routinely required for standard
implant systems, is avoided in most Mini Dental
Implant applications. As a result, post-insertion
patient irritation and soreness is significantly
reduced. While all dental implants require care
during insertion to avoid encroaching on vulnerable
nerve, sinus or bony structures, the ultra small
width of the mini implants offers a much more
comfortable margin of safety.
What type of surgery is involved with Mini Dental
Implants?
A single, minimally invasive surgery is needed for
insertion of the Mini Dental Implants. The implants
are then put into immediate biting or "loading"
function thanks to their "self-tapping" design,
thereby anchoring a fixed bridge system. As a
result, it is often possible to provide the complete
mini implant service in a single office visit. Mini
dental implants clearly represent an enormous
breakthrough for the dental implant specialty as the
most patient-friendly, cost-effective, proven dental
implant system available today.
What will my first day be like with Mini Dental
Implants?
You should not experience any excessive bleeding.
There will be some mild discomfort but this should
be minimal and controlled by recommended pain
medication. The denture or crowns should feel
secure. You may eat as soon as you wish to avoid
excessively hard or sticky foods at first.
