SINGAPORE ACADEMY OF MEDICINE GIVES MINIS THE NOD
ESPECIALLY FOR LOWER FULL DENTURE STABILIZATION
A LANDMARK DECISION AND ONE OF THE FIRST IN THE WORLD
BY A RESPECTED HEALTH AUTHORITY
1. The Academy of Medicine Singapore with the Singapore Ministry of Health and other dental specialist bodies has recommended narrow diameter dental implants to be used for mandibular denture stabilization.
The recommendation comes with a high rating of Grade B, Level 2++. This rating means that it is recommended for use on patients and is supported by high quality systematic reviews of case control or cohort studies. Patients with implants between 2.5mm to 3.3mm for mandibular overdenture retention had good survival rates of more than 98% in two prospective studies.
2. Below is the link to download the latest clinical guidelines for implant dentistry in Singapore:
3. It was compiled by a committee of 22 implant dentists in Singapore. They referred to 121 respected papers from all over the world. These guidelines are endorsed by the Academy of Medicine Singapore, Ministry of Health, Society of Periodontology, College of Dental Surgeons, Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and Prosthodontic Society of Singapore. Dated August 2012.
On page 19 is the recommendation for narrow diameter dental implants for mandibular overdenture retention. Although there is no comment on the use of minis or narrow diameters for crowns and bridges, there is no disapproval either. It usually means that the jury is out and practitioners should use them responsibly as they see fit.
