8. Loading the Mini Implant

Infinitas mini implants can be loaded immediately after insertion. There is no need to wait for either soft tissue or bony healing, although light initial loading is advisable especially if little insertion resistance was encountered. Various kinds of attachments, e.g. preformed nickel titanium coil springs and elastomeric chains can be placed into the external and/or internal undercuts. These can apply continuous forces up to 200 gm.

The internal undercut can also accommodate standard archwires up to 0.021 x 0.025 size, and these may be secured with either an elastic module or steel ligature.
