Dental Implant therapy has been one of the most significant advances in dentistry in recent years. The mini dental implant therapy is proving to be one of the most notable advancements in Implant Dentistry. The mini dental implant, known as the MDI system, contains a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth. The head is shaped just like a ball and the retaining fixture acts like a socket. This implant fixture allows for micro-mobility, while holding up against natural lifting forces.
The standard insertion protocol for mini dental implants calls for four of them to be gently screwed into the front of a patient's lower jaw. This is a relatively painless procedure that can be performed by a general dentist, requiring only mild anesthesia. Placement of the mini dental implants is accomplished quickly and easily in a process performed in the dentist's office.
