Narrow Diameter Implants (NDIs): A Prosthodontic Review

Abstract Narrow diameter implants (NDIs), typically defined as implants with diameters between 2.5–3.5 mm, have become a critical option in contemporary implantology, particularly for the prosthodontic rehabilitation of cases with limited horizontal bone availability or restricted mesiodistal space. This review explores the indications, biomechanical considerations, prosthetic implications, surgical protocols, materials science, and long-term outcomes associated with NDIs, with attention to evidence-based clinical recommendations.
