Why should you read this article? This case report is a guide, how mini-implants can be used as strategic abutments for the stabilization of removable partial dentures and for the support of the remaining teeth.
Implant success nowadays means more than just the achievement of osseointegration. We must also take into account the esthetic results. The present case study shows the treatment of a partially edentulous 65-year-old female…
Der klinische Erfolg von Mini-Implantaten hängt von verschiedenen Parametern ab, die auch untereinander in Beziehung stehen. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, ob eine Korrelation zwischen dem Durchmesser der inserierten Implantate und der Primärstabilität existiert…
Complete dentures are most frequently a challenge for practitioners. Completely edentulous patients, usually elderly, often complain about the functionality of conventional dentures, especially the mandibular ones, claiming their instability, poor retention and discomfort during wear…
The aim of this research is to observe and evaluate the clinical application of the Esthetic Line [EL] implant system (C-Tech, Bologna, Italy). The EL implant has a surface topography created by sandblasting and acid etching (SLA) and a Morse locking conical connection…

Implant success today consists of more than just “osseointegration accomplished”. We also have to take into account the aesthetic result. The present clinical case with high aesthetic patient expectations illustrates the treatment of a partially edentulous 65-year-old female patient with grade 2 mobility in all teeth.
Implant surfaces are modified by microstructures and surface extension to improve osseointegration. Numerous studies showed an increased adhesion and osteoblastic matrix-production on retentive titanium surfaces.
We present a clinical case with extensive aesthetic requirements, illustrating the treatment of a 65-year-old patient with a partial edentular situation with all the teeth having a mobility grade of 2. All the maxillary teeth were extracted and the implants were immediately set.
The aim of this study was to analyse possible factors for the loss of mini-implants with diameters between 1.8 and 2.4 mm used in the stabilization of complete dentures.
A retrospective study over 3 years including 2-year follow-up Henriette Lerner, DMD Director of HL Dentclinic (private practice focussed on implantology). The aim of this research is to retrospectively evaluate an innovative implant and prosthetical design by applying the following criteria…
Although accepted in the dental practice, mini dental implant had long been seen with skepticism. But in the last years mini dental implants have attracted the attention of academics and researchers and have been followed up with studies from many different universities around the world.
The 4 year survival rates of mini dental implants used in the stabilization of the full prosthesis stand at 95% success or higher. Will mini dental implants establish themselves as a viable therapy for compromised bone volume? Interest in mini dental implants is increasing.
Especially in atrophied mandibles, where conventional diameter implants meet their limits, mini dental implants can be a sensible solution. This is also true in patients, where an invasive procedure can pose medical risks. Thanks to the diameters of mini dental implants, which are less than 3 mm, cases where the mandible is very thin, the MDIs can be placed with a minimal invasive procedure that often does not require bone augmentation.
Partial dentures supported on natural teeth are a standards in dentistry and are used on a significant percentage in the prosthetic cases in the German population. In the future, with the improvement of dental hygiene in the population there will be less total edentulism but instead there will be an increase in the cases of partial edentulism and consequently there will be an increase in partial bridges.
