...The REAL Mini Implant

Intra-Lock MDL Mini Dental
Implants (U.S. Patent 7,033,174)
are progressively acid-etched and
available in 2 diameters (2mm and
2.5mm) and five lengths (10 mm,
11.5 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm).
MDL implants have an efficient
self-tapping thread profile and a polished
collar, just like a full-sized
implant. The Intra-Lock ® MDL
System includes an abutment
designed for true provisional applications.

MDL Implants have always had
an integral polished collar to promote
tissue health. Its profile and
dimensions are all carefully calculated
to provide maximum
strength at the point where the
highest insertion forces are generated.
In addition, MDL
Implant’s thread pitch and
wedge profile permit intimate
contact between the bone and
implant surface ensuring initial
stability and encouraging immediate
load success.
Predictable and efficient delivery
and placement are achieved with
Drive-Lock technology. MDL
Implants can be removed from
their sterile vial, transferred
directly to the surgical site
and are threaded into place all in
one fluid, ergonomic motion.

MDL Surgical Procedure
Overdenture Stabilization
The Mini Drive-Lock Surgical Kit organizes all instrumentation necessary for the procedure and features a
convenient stainless-steel tray that is easily removed and placed in the sterile operator field.
Light, repeated, intermediate, vertical introduction of the MDL 1.2mm Pilot Twist Drill breaches the gingival
tissue and periosteum (Fig. 1). Copious sterile saline irrigation is recommended (Fig. 2). Drilling depth is
approximately one third the length of the implant with care taken to breach the cortical plate (Fig. 3).
MDL ’s are packaged suspended on titanium rings specially engineered to facilitate a no-touch delivery and
placement utilizing Drive-Lock technology (Fig. 4). The MDL Contra-Angle Driver (MDLCAD) is engineered
to slip over the O-ball assembly, firmly engaging the implant for direct delivery and initial seating.
Use a slow speed high-torque handpiece (15 RPM or less) and the MDL Contra-Angle Driver to begin to insert
the MDL Implant (Fig. 5). MDL ’s sharp apical guiding point initiates self-tapping action; threading and
expanding the bone at the same time (Fig. 6). The use of an electric motor with a torque-limiting feature set to
35Ncm is recommended.
When the torque limiter stalls the handpiece an MDL Ratchet Driver
(MDLRD) with a Surgical Ratchet Wrench (SRA) is used (Fig. 7). Small incremental
turns; with a pause between each turn takes advantage of
bone’s viscoelastic nature (Fig. 8).
MDL Implant seating is accomplished when the Ratchet Driver is
flush with the surrounding gingival tissue (Fig. 9).

MDL Chairside Denture Retentive Pickup Procedure
Overdenture Stabilization
For chairside pickup of the MDL denture retentive component transfer the position of the O-Balls to the tissue-bearing
surface of the denture by marking the heads of the O-Balls with a soft lead pencil (Fig. 1)
or capturing their impression by inserting a strip of soft silicone or soft wax inside the denture. An impression
is clearly visible on the tissue-bearing surface of the denture (Fig. 2).
Using a resin bur, relieve the opening around the abutment impressions or markings in the denture
(Fig. 3 & 4).
Try the denture in the patient’s mouth and verify that the appliance is seated passively while in maximum
intercuspation. The O-Balls should not touch any part of the denture. Have the patient close into maximum
intercuspation and observe that the denture is stable and properly equilibrated at this point (Fig. 5).
Snap a Retentive Housing Assembly over each O-Ball (Fig. 6 & 7). Try the denture in the patient’s mouth
again and check to ensure that the appliance is seated passively while in maximum intercuspation (Fig. 8).
Remove the Retentive Housings. Punch holes in a rubber dam at each implant site (Fig. 9).

MDL Chairside Denture Retentive Pickup Procedure (Cont.)
Overdenture Stabilization
Place the rubber dam over each abutment, leaving only the O-Ball heads exposed. Lubricate the O-Ball heads
(Fig. 10 & 11). These steps will prevent any acrylic lock-on.
Snap a Retentive Housing Assembly over each O-Ball in preparation for final seating (Fig. 12).
Clean, wash and dry the denture. Fill the abutment recesses with self cure resin (Fig. 13). Paint a small amount
of this material over each retentive housing (Fig. 14). As soon as the acrylic in the denture becomes resistant to
flow, seat the denture, keeping light, bilateral pressure on the occlusal surface (Fig. 15).
While maintaining light bilateral pressure on the denture, have the patient close gently into maximum intercuspation
(Fig. 16).
Allow the acrylic to fully polymerize. After the acrylic has set, remove the denture and the
rubber dam (Fig. 17). Trim flash and fill any minor voids or discrepancies. Ensure that
there are no sharp edges on the tissue-bearing surface of the denture (Fig. 18).
Recheck the occlusion. Confirm proper occlusal contacts.

MDL Temporary
Abutment Protocol
Increase your treatment solutions with
Intra-Lock ® ’s MDL Cement-Over
Abutments designed for true provisional
applications. The abutment simply fits over
the O-Ball Assembly and converts the
implant from removable to fixed prosthetic
options. MDL Abutments are available in
straight and 15 degree angulated versions.
Resin cement secures the abutment to the
implant and temporary cement is used
when placing the metal reinforced bridge
on prepared abutments.
Prior to the placement MDL implants, appropriate and
adequate training in all phases of MDL Ω Implant procedures
is strongly recommended. A comprehensive
patient interview, medical/dental history and a complete
oral examination should be conducted. Diagnostic radiographs
and mounted study models, if appropriate,
should also be obtained.
