Mini implants used to stabilize a temporary denture

In this case, mini dental implants (Dentatus Atlas system) are placed along with the permanent dental implants (Nobelbiocare Tapered Groovy system). The mini dental implants are used for the purpose of stabilizing the temporary denture. By using this technique the temporary denture can be modified by removing the palatal aspect as well as decreasing the denture flanges. This modification of the temporary denture is typically performed by the restoring dentist. Some of these aspects were performed at the time of surgery just to get initial stabilization. Guided implant surgery was also used for the placement of the permanent implants. The following slide carousel demonstrates the procedures performed and will be update as more photos are available.

Guided implant surgical case – minimal bony dimensions for dental implant placement.

This case is in progress, but it involves implant placement in minimal bony dimensions. This case would be extremely difficult to do without guided surgery. It would be very easy to perforate the alveolar housing. Using guided surgery though the implant can be meticulously placed, minimizing the risk of bony perforation ………
