Эффективность ортопедического лечения пациентов с приобретенными дефектами челюстно-лицевой области с применением мини-имплантатов

Nowadays, dental implantation has occupied one of the leading places in a complex of methods for treatment of different dental diseases; one cannot but estimate its role in restoration of patients’ quality of life. The number of applied dental implants is growing; indications for dental implantation are widening. Reconstructive-restorative surgeries on the jaws are in common ambulatory practice. Wide spreading of dental implantation techniques made it possible to use implants not only for patients with partial and full absence of teeth, but also in such a problematic category of patients as those with acquired jaw-bone defects. One of varieties of dental implantation is mini-dental implantation. Indisputable advantage of this technology is a possibility of direct load that is important for stabilization of both traditional removable dentures and resectional, forming and substitution dentures, used by patients after the performed oral surgery. Fixation of removable dentures with dental mini-implants improves the prosthesis stability, function, phonation and esthetics. Use of these implants is very effective from the economic point of view that should be taken into consideration while planning orthopedic treatment.
