Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of Axiom (implant diameter) ø2.8 mm narrow body implant in the clinical effect of minimally invasive implants in edentulous space.This study included 10 patients with 10 edentulous spaces less than 5 mm and received minimally invasive surgery with 10 Axiom ø2.8 mm narrow implants. Re-stabilization of all implants began 6 months after surgery to fix the partial denture. All cases were followed up for clinical and panoramic X-ray examinations.Imaging examination on these 10 pieces of narrow implants after 6 months showed that implant alveolar bone crest average absorption amount was 0.20 mm and no implant peripheral inflammation mucositis and denture with adjacent teeth gingival papilla between the fillings. All patients felt strong mastication and the reparation effect was more than up to expectation. No implant loosening and shedding were observed.Hence, <5 mm edentulous space by Axiom ø2.8 mm implant minimally invasive reparation can be used for aesthetic purposes.
