Abstract
In the last 30 years, the use of dental implants to replace missing teeth has increased immensely. Brånemark pioneered the use of extensive surgical flaps to visualise the surgical field during implant surgery. Since then, several changes have been made to the flap design with aesthetic considerations now being incorporated. Such major innovations have contributed to the wide acceptance of flapless implant surgery. Therefore, it is of interest to describe the various techniques, requirements, advantages and disadvantages of minimally implant surgery.
Keywords
Minimally invasive implants, flapless implants, punch technique, direct drill technique, mini-incision technique.
