Mini Implants: Simplified<br />
protocol for stabilising<br />
removable dentures<br />
Dr Francis Bailly shares his experience in using Anthogyr Mini<br />
Implant System to restore the smile and function of his patient with<br />
resorbed mandible.<br />
The 55-year-old male patient presents with a particularly<br />
degraded oral health status, requiring the extraction of all<br />
remaining teeth and the fitting of two complete dentures.<br />
Since retention of the mandibular denture is inadequate,<br />
four Mini Implants will be placed seven months later in<br />
order to stabilise it.<br />
Surgical protocol:<br />
