How Does MDI
Technology Broaden My Options?
Dental implant therapy has been one of the most significant
advances in dentistry in the past 25 years. Tens of thousands
of grateful patients bear witness to the benefits derived
from the opportunity to obtain a replacement for lost teeth
that restores their smiles and confidence. Several different
types of implants and restorations are available. The choice
depends upon the amount of bone available, the patient's
general health and restoration preference.
The computer and medical worlds are both working hard to
develop smaller and smaller components. In similar fashion,
a smaller version of the dental implant has been successfully
utilized in selected cases. The mini implants (1.8mm diameter)
enable your dentist to broaden the spectrum of patients
that can be treated. The Sendax MDI System was developed
in order to provide greater denture stability for those
patients who cannot withstand the rigors of conventional
implant surgery, do not have enough bone to allow for full-sized
implant to be placed , or are in on-going therapy form one
prosthetic system to another.
What Are MDI
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 P-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 (see figure 1).

How Are MDI
Implants Placed?
Placement of the implants is accomplished quickly and easily
in a process performed in the dentist's office, with local
anesthesia or light sedation to help make you more comfortable.
Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical
technique, MDI Implants are placed into the jawbone. The
heads of the implants protrude from the gum tissue and provide
a strong, solid foundation for securing your dentures. It
is a one-step procedure that involves minimally invasive
surgery, no sutures, and none of the typical months of healing.
