Fushipro MDLMOR10Z MDLORZ Replacement O Ring Kit, for Intralock Mini Implant Metal Housing Maintenance

Mini implants require the use of O-rings to secure them in the appropriate position. O-rings are typically made of flexible material and are designed to firmly anchor teeth or dentures in the alveolar bone. These O-rings help ensure stability and provide good biting force for the teeth or dentures. Therefore, the use of O-rings is an essential component of mini implants. O-rings play several important roles in Mini Implants: 1. Securing teeth or dentures: O-rings are used to fix teeth or dentures onto the Mini Implants, ensuring they remain stable and do not become loose. This helps provide teeth or dentures with the correct positioning to chew food properly. 2. Balancing biting force: O-rings distribute biting force evenly, reducing the pressure on Mini Implants. This improves the durability and stability of the Mini Implants and reduces the risk of loosening or damage. 3. Alleviating jawbone pressure: By reducing the pressure on the jawbone, O-rings can help slow down the rate of bone absorption. This is crucial in slowing down jawbone atrophy and preventing changes in facial structure. In summary, O-rings play a vital role in Mini Implants by providing fixation, stability, balancing biting force, and alleviating jawbone pressure. They are a key component in ensuring the functionality and comfort of Mini Implants. Typically, O-rings used in Mini Implants have a long lifespan and do not require frequent replacement. However, there are situations where it may be necessary to consider replacing the O-rings in Mini Implants: 1. Wear or damage to O-rings: Over time, O-rings may lose their elasticity and ability to securely hold teeth or dentures due to wear or damage. If the O-rings are cracked, deformed, loosened, or hardened, they may not effectively secure the teeth or dentures. In such cases, replacing the O-rings is necessary to maintain the stability of the Mini Implants. 2. Loose teeth or dentures: If you notice that your teeth or dentures are becoming loose or shifting on the Mini Implants, it may indicate that the O-rings have lost their ability to secure the teeth. In this case, replacing the O-rings may be a solution to address the issue. 3. Adjustment of biting force: If you experience uneven or uncomfortable biting force, replacing the O-rings may be needed to rebalance the biting force. It is important to note that when deciding whether to replace the O-rings in Mini Implants, it is best to consult with a dentist or oral healthcare professional. They will be able to evaluate your specific situation and provide the most suitable advice.
