The Minimally Invasive Method of Implantation (MIMI) is done without incisions and sutures and a treatment time of about 8 to 10 weeks. An implant placement using the MIMI procedure is completed in a few minutes in just one session. Openings of the oral mucosa (gums) are usually not required, which also eliminates the need for sutures and suture removal a week later in another session.
For you as a patient, implantation according to the MIMI procedure also offers the possibility of using implants even if the bone supply is already very much reduced due to bone loss (atrophy). Specifically, a horizontal bone supply (width) of 3 mm and a vertical supply (height) of 4 mm in the upper jaw and 6 mm in the lower jaw is sufficient for a MIMI implantation. Extensive, expensive, and painful bone augmentation can be dispensed with in many cases.
This gives prosthesis wearers with removable dentures completely new perspectives, because implant-supported dentures can also be used in cases of bone loss without extensive and painful bone augmentation.
