Conventional mini implant surgery in the edentulous mandible is in most cases, a very quick and minimal invasive procedure. The implants are usually placed trans gingivally and if initial primary stability is achieved then they can be loaded immediately following the surgery.
Limited quantity of mandibular bone, in fact the mandibular nerve runs along the edge of the bony crest from the mental foramen. It was impossible to place posteriorly without a complex graft with displacement of the mandibular nerve.
Mini implants are in all respects implants, but with a small diameter, not exceeding 3 mm. They are produced in a titanium alloy, which is classified as grade 5, and has excellent mechanical properties.

We present you a Surgical Clinical Case with Flapless Technique performed by Doctor Aldo De Blasi using SD Mini Implants. You will be able to observe all the steps necessary for the stabilization of the lower prosthesis in the interforaminal region.
Italian inventors and dentists had a major influence on the development of dental implant technology – we think of names such as Giordano Muratori and Ugo Pasqualini and their sheet implants, Pier Luigi Mondani and his intraoral welding or Dino Garbaccio and his self-tapping bicortical screw.
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 highest target in our profession is the fulfilment of patient wishes. The greatest wish of our patient is always the fast, painless replacement of their missing teeth or stabilisation of the prosthesis …
A 55 year old female patient was referred to our office for a full mouth rehabilitation. Upon clinical examination and a CBCT, we have decided to implant 4 EL C-Tech conical Morse tapered connection implants in the upper jaw for a bar retained over denture and due to financial considerations.
A 58 years old female patient has come to our clinic for lower jaw rehabilitation. After the clinical examination and OPG, We have decided to extract tooth 33, which is the only one remaining. As thepatient has not accepted a big augmentation procedure, we have decided to implant 4 C-Tech SD mini dental implants for retention and stabilization of the lower denture.
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.
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.
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.
