The American Dental Association estimates that 12 to 14 million people, or one-third of the population in the United States, have diabetes, but only one-half of these individuals are diagnosed. Studies have shown that diabetics are more susceptible to the development of oral infections and periodontal disease than those who do not have diabetes.
There are millions of people in need of implants. Do you have a missing tooth? Do you have a partial that just doesn't fit comfortably? Do you have a denture that is not stable or interferes with eating and talking due to slippage? If you answer yes to any of the above questions, then you are a candidate for an implant.
Most patients are unhappy with their dental appliances and have trouble stabilizing them with traditional adhesives. There is hope for patients everywhere and it comes in the form of tiny IMTEC Sendax MDI Implants.
Richard Lipscomb Jr., DDS completed a training seminar on the IMTEC MDI Implants. The industry-sponsored program is designed to train dentists in Mini-Dental Implant placement and denture stabilization techniques.
“The IMTEC MDI solves this problem in an innovative way,†says Dr. Lipscomb. “Four of these tiny implants, which are about the diameter of ordinary wooden toothpicks, can stabilize a denture. There is no longer a need for messy adhesives after this minimally evasive procedure. In less than two hours a patient can go out and have their favorite meal. It is that simple.â€
