Introduction
 The BTLock Mini Implant line is the solution for immediate and long-term stabilization of removable prosthesis. The system is characterized by a wide range of options dealing with:
- Diameter
- Length
- Prosthetic part
Mini Implants are available in three diameters (2 - 2.5 - 3 mm.) and three lengths (11.5 - 13 - 16 mm.). The implant length includes the machine-cut collar (1.5 mm) and BT-Tite threaded part (mix of sandblasting and acid-etching).
One trans-gingival height (0.8 mm) and 4 prosthetic solutions are available:
- Teflon cap with o-ring
- Ferrule with o-ring
- Metal cap with o-ring
- Retaining cap
Static tests performed on Mini Implant resulted in a breaking point amounting to 190 Ncm (2 mm. diameter). Torsion testing resulted in a breaking point amounting to 95 Ncm.
Surgical procedure is simple and no specific knowledge of implant advanced surgery is required. The kit is as simple as the procedure: 1 pilot drill (to give direction and depth), 2 twist drills (needed to enlarge the osteotomic site in case of hard bone), 1 straight key (for insertion by hands), 1 ratchet, 1 extension for ratchet, 1 adaptor for micromotor.
BTLock Mini Implants are individually packed and gamma-ray sterilized. Every package includes an implant-carrier which permits the manual insertion avoiding any external contamination.
