DIAGNOSTIC, PROCEDURAL, AND CLINICAL ISSUES WITH THE SENDAX MINI DENTAL IMPLANT
Charles English and George C Bohle
Compendium November 2003.
We are witnessing a paradigm shift in implant treatment available for edentulous mandible in the general practice. General practitioners are very interested in a cost-effective, simple treatment that they can deliver to the challenging denture patient. A second wave of cost-effective edentulous implant treatment is now upon us, because more patients can afford the Sendax Mini Dental Implant ™ (MDI) approach as compared to traditional implant prosthodontic methods with bar overdentures or fixed-detachable prostheses.

MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR THE GENERAL DENTIST: A NOVEL TECHNICAL APPROACH FOR SMALL-DIAMETER IMPLANT PLACEMENT.
Todd Ellis Shatkin, Samuel Shatkin and Adam J Oppenheimer.
Compendium November 2003.
This article describes a novel technique for the placement of MDI’s for long term prosthetic stabilization. Because the procedure for placing these implants is minimally invasive, they can be used in patients who would normally be considered high risk (eg patients on anticoagulant or steroid therapy). In addition, the general dentist can master this technique with minimal training and surgical experience, significantly expanding his or her armamentarium.
