Narrow diameter implant
Good morning everyone, does anyone have good experience with placing narrow diamter implant (3.3mm) at the maxillary canine or even premolar region for single tooth replacement? I have come across a few articles on Pubmed that showed good clinical outcome. Feel free to share your experience here. Thank you !

Typically, there can be very good outcomes, and there are some great research that supports shorter and/or narrow implants in specific cases. It depends on the implant system and your ability to fully torque those restorations as you do your normal diameter implants and if that’s the case they typically have a very favorable outcome. However, do you want to make sure that they’re sufficient bone and biology around the implants otherwise you will have failures just like other size implants.
