[Blade implants: new ideas].
It is often thought that the insertion of laminar implants is imprecise, poorly standardized, and consequently, does not favour integration into the bone. We have been able to confirm that laminar implants are integrated into the bone in an experimental dog model and in pathology studies. To avoid the inconveniences often encountered, we developed a new concept laminar implant. Characteristics of the implant Body thickness = 1.2 mm; length = 20 and 16 mm; height of body = 6 or 8 mm; shaft : 3.25 mm diameter. The most important feature is that the upper part of the sheath around the collar does not overrun the upper border of the body by more than 1 mm. The total height is thus 7 or 9 mm. Insertion technique Discs are mounted on the counter-angle at increasing thicknesses. The third and last disc is 1.2 mm thick and has a radius corresponding to the 7 or 9 mm implant. The mandibular canal is perfectly protected with this technique. Indications Thin crests in the molar region of the mandible. Minimal bone between the crest and the mandibular canal. Subsinus implantation.
