Abstract

  In cases of missing mandibular incisors, mini dental implants can be used to overcome limitations of bone volume that doesn’t allow the placement of standard-sized implants. This article describes a 48 years old female patient who presented in the department of prosthodontics with a defective dental supported restoration of an unhealthy mandibular incisor which imposed its extraction. After clinical and radiographic study, the minimal bone volume could only accommodate the placement of a mini-dental implant to support a metal ceramic mandibular incisor.
