TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS: COSTDIS AND MOSTDIS

TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS: COSTDIS AND MOSTDIS

Dental implants may be divided into 2 main types of implants, namely COSTDIs and MOSTDIs. COSTDIs stand for Conventional Osseointegrated Screw Titanium Dental Implants. MOSTDIS stand for Minimized Osseointegrated Screw Titanium Dental Implants. The main difference between the 2 are the difference in diameter. Generally, anything below 3mm in diameter are considered MOSTDIs and anything 3mm and above in diameter is considered COSTDIS. We will focus on MOSTDIS in this book.
