Replacement of Maxillary Central Incisor with Mini Dental Implant in Narrow Edentulous Space: A Case Report.

Dr. Jitendra J. Mete

Abstract :

The success rate of dental implants in the edentulous mouth has encouraged dentists to extend this application to the replacement of single missing teeth. The use of standard–sized or of wide–diameter implants is suggested to allow favorable contact surface between the bone and the implant itself. Occasionally, lack of space does not allow the dentist to place implants of such dimensions. An adequate solution in these cases, when single–tooth restorations are needed and the space is not sufficient to insert a standard or a wide diameter implant, is the mini dental implant. Review of literature suggest that single–tooth mini dental implant restoration can be a successful treatment alternative to solve both functional and esthetic problems in cases where space problems limit the use of wide diameter implants. In this article a case of successful use of mini dental implant in patient with narrow edentulous space for the replacement of maxillary central incisor is presented.
