Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Implantology
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Oral implantology is a key dental field.
  • Small-diameter implants (SDI), less than 3mm in diameter, are effective for retaining prostheses.
  • SDI and mini-diameter implants (MDI) are terms for these smaller implants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the success rate of small-diameter implants (SDI) in clinical practice.
  • To assess the long-term function of SDI in various patient cases.
  • To identify treatment considerations for SDI placement and restoration.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 335 SDI placed over 7 years.
  • Implants placed in healed sites (>6 months).
  • Immediate or delayed loading protocols (up to 3 months) were used.

Main Results:

  • 321 out of 335 implants were restored and functional.
  • A total of 14 implant failures were recorded.
  • The overall success rate for SDI was 96.1%.

Conclusions:

  • SDI demonstrate a high success rate, making them a viable alternative in oral implantology.
  • Treatment planning for SDI should consider prosthetic design, arch, and loading protocols.
  • SDI are suitable for patients with atrophic bone, compromised health, or financial limitations.
