A case report is presented where an edentulous mandibular anterior site is restored with very small- or mini-diameter (1.8-mm) dental implants. The surgical and prosthetic use of very small-diameter dental implants is discussed. Such implants can be successfully used in appropriate sites where there is adequate bone density for immediate implant stability and an implant-protected occlusal scheme.Abstract
