A. Yes. Clinical Research Associates of Provo, Utah, a nationally recognized research organization headed up by Gordon J. Christensen, DDS, MSD, PhD., in Vol. 25, Issue 1, January, 2001 of CRA Dental Products Buying Guide, entitled Trends Evident From Outstanding Products Studied in 2000 states: “…… 9. Mini implants [less than 2mm diameter] are increasing in use for patients with minimal bone. They can provide both excellent transitional & long-term service.” (Emphasis CRA) Incidentally, Dr. Christensen demonstrates the Sendax MDI in one of his excellent teaching videos entitled The “Mini” Implant for General Practitioners (Item C900A) that is available at 800/ 223-6569 or over the web at www.pccdental.com.
