CATEGORY 88 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST CLINICAL cost-efficient, and patient-friendly implant therapy. They enable clinicians to restore full arches without grafting, reduce complications associated with large reconstructive surgeries, and preserve natural bone and soft-tissue integrity. Where conventional implantology reconstructs bone to fit the implant, BioMiniature Implantology adapts the implant to fit the patient, quietly redefining the limits of surgical necessity. Case Review The following case demonstrates rehabilitation of a narrow alveolar ridge using BioMiniatures implants. Placement of conventional implants in this case would have required ridge augmentation, introducing a high risk of complications, prolonged treatment time, and increased cost. The use of narrow-diameter BioMiniatures implants eliminated the need for grafting, allowing a fixed restoration with minimal morbidity and reduced healing time. CBCT slices illustrate the no-drilling technique, where the implants were inserted in a ridge measuring only 3–4 mm in width. The self-advancing design of the implants facilitated controlled bone expansion during placement, ensuring primary stability without invasive surgical intervention. X Key References 1.
