Mini dental implants (MDI) are ultra-small diameter (l.8 mm width), biocompatible titanium alloy implant screws, conceived and designed over 20 years ago by a board-certified Manhattan dentist, Sendax Victor. Dr. R. A. Bulard added a single-piece "O-ball" design to Dr. Sendax Victor concept. These implants can be used in atrophic ridges, flabby ridges, or in other cases where there is denture instability or lack of retention due to poor availability of residual bone. In this article, a case report of 55-year-old female patient is presented, with a severely atrophic mandibular ridge that was managed by the MDI system with an overdenture.
微型牙种植体(MDI)是超小直径(宽度1.8毫米)的生物相容性钛合金种植螺钉,由一位获得曼哈顿认证的牙医森德克斯·维克托在20多年前构思并设计。R.A. 布拉德博士在森德克斯·维克托博士的概念基础上增加了一体式“O型球”设计。这些种植体可用于萎缩性牙槽嵴、松弛性牙槽嵴,或用于其他因剩余骨量不足导致义齿不稳定或固位不良的情况。本文介绍了一名55岁女性患者的病例报告,其严重萎缩的下颌牙槽嵴采用MDI系统结合覆盖义齿进行治疗。
