Research is looking at implant reconstruction with a tissue expander using a dermal matrix product to cover the implant compared to using skin and muscle to cover the implant. The dermal matrix essentially forms a âslingâ that helps form a pocket and support the lower portion of the implant, holding it in position.
Mini implants may be used for small teeth and incisors. Narrower implants may be used for small teeth and incisors. Also, a narrower implant may best serve patients who require stabilization of lower jaw dentures, pre-molar teeth, or a missing tooth that was located in a narrow area.A small number of narrower implants are FDA-approved for the purpose of prosthesis stabilization, including the mini dental implant.ental implants are among the most successful procedures in dentistry. Although there is no guarantee that a dental implant procedure will be successful, studies have shown a five-year success rate of 95 percent for lower jaw implants and 90 percent for upper jaw implants.
