Abstract:

  1. Abstract



  2. Introduction: Missing anterior teeth due to trauma or congenital missing is a dental handicap

  3. affecting child aesthetic, phonetics, function and quality of life. Traditional management includes

  4. removable partial denture, resin bonded bridge, auto- transplant, and closure of the space

  5. orthodontically. Implants are the ideal solution for missing teeth but we have to wait until the end

  6. of growth. Mini-implant gives a promising future for these cases as they guard to loss of bone

  7. and space, restore function and aesthetic and improves quality of life

  8. Aim of the work: Evaluate clinically and radiographically Mini-implant in children, and evaluate

  9. the effect of the Mini- group of implant on the quality of life for those children.

  10. Material and

    Methods: 15 children aged from (11-13) with missing anterior teeth were selected

  11. for the study, Mini-implants were inserted by the flapless technique, immediately loaded with

  12. ceramic fused to metal crown. Evaluation was made by Modified Gingival Index (MGI), probing

  13. depth (PD), Ostell mobility and marginal bone loss by standardized periapical radiograph every

  14. 6 months for 2 years and Oral health impact profile(OHIP) questioner was taken before and

  15. after insertion of the Mini-implant



  16. Results: there was no statistically significant difference in the MGI, PD, Ostell mobility and

  17. marginal bone loss along 24 months follow up, while the quality of life (QoL) questioner revealed

  18. statistically significant difference before and after insertion of the Mini-implant.



  19. Conclusion: Mini-implant is successful a promising solution for missing anterior teeth in

  20. children up to 11 years, but careful study of the case and follow up until the end of growth to reevaluate the case to either maintain the Mini- implant or change it to an implant of appropriate

  21. size.
