What Are Mini Dental Implants?
The MDI System
consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your
tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your
denture, The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and the retaining
fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O-ring
snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at
a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on
the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while
withstanding natural lifting forces.
