“…The authors indicated that mini-implants may be used with existing RPDs to improve abutment distribution to optimize functional loading conditions and significantly improve patient satisfaction. The studies by Jaghsi et al 274 and Mundt et al 275 provided ample support for continued clinical analysis and implementation of implant-assisted RPDs.…”

“…Ease of use and reduced cost of mini-implants might lead one to consider their use to facilitate support and retention of existing removable partial dentures (RPDs) to improve patient satisfaction. Al Jaghsi et al 274 and Mundt et al 275 reported on a randomized controlled multicenter clinical trial evaluating the use of miniimplants under 2 loading protocols: immediate loading (38 patients, 22 women; mean age, 66.4 years; 40 RPDs) and 4-month delayed loading (38 patients, 25 women; mean age, 65.4 years; 39 RPDs). Patients presented wearing RPDs with unfavorable abutment distributions (no canine and at most 2 posterior teeth in one or both quadrants).…”

“…For the same experimental population, Al Jaghsi et al 274 measured patient satisfaction at baseline (before implant placement), 2 weeks, 4 months, 4.5 months, 12 months, 2 years, and 3 years after surgery. Satisfaction at 4 months was superior for the immediate loading group, but delayed loading at the 4.5 months yielded satisfaction improvements to a similar level.…”

“…The primary outcome was the radiological bone level change at MIs. First evaluations found marked improvements in the chewing efficiency [31] and patient satisfaction with their RPDs [32]. The improvements occurred faster after immediate loading than delayed MI loading.…”

Objectives Stability values of mini-implants (MIs) are ambiguous. Survival data for MIs as supplementary abutments in reduced dentitions are not available. The aim of this explorative research was to estimate the 3-year stability and survival of strategic MIs after immediate and delayed loading by existing removable partial dentures (RPDs). Material and methods In a university and three dental practices, patients with unfavorable tooth distributions received supplementary MIs with diameters of 1.8, 2.1, and 2.4 mm. The participants were randomly allocated to group A (if the insertion torque ≥ 35 Ncm: immediate loading by housings; otherwise, immediate loading by RPD soft relining was performed) or delayed loading group B. Periotest values (PTVs) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) values were longitudinally compared using mixed models. Results A total of 112 maxillary and 120 mandibular MIs were placed under 79 RPDs (31 maxillae). The 1st and 3rd quartile of the PTVs ranged between 1.7 and 7.8, and the RFA values ranged between 30 and 46 with nonrelevant group differences. The 3-year survival rates were 92% in group A versus 95% in group B and 99% in the mandible (one failure) versus 87% in the maxilla (eleven failures among four participants). Conclusions Within the limitations of explorative analyses, there were no relevant differences between immediate and delayed loading regarding survival or stability of strategic MIs. Clinical relevance The stability values for MIs are lower than for conventional implants. The MI failure rate in the maxilla is higher than in the mandible with cluster failure participants.
