Abstract

Mini-dental implants for overdenture applications are increasingly popular due to their ease in placement with simplified, less traumatic surgical protocols in limited-width alveolar ridges. However, the clinical decisions including implant number, position, and loading protocol must be based on a thorough evaluation and evidence-based diagnosis. Herein, we reported a case treated with the current method of mandibular mini-implant supported overdenture.
