Immediate loading of full-arch fixed prostheses supported by axial and tilted implants for the treatment of edentulous atrophic mandibles.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term prognosis of immediately loaded fixed full prostheses for the treatment of edentulous patients with extreme bone atrophy in the posterior mandibular region.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four edentulous patients with atrophic posterior mandibles were treated by means of a complete prosthesis sustained by both axial and tilted fixtures. The insertion of tilted implants was carefully planned by means of computed tomography scan analysis and measuring width and height of residual bone.

Immediate rehabilitation of the edentulous jaws with full fixed prostheses supported by four implants: interim results of a single cohort prospective study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of immediately loaded full-arch fixed prostheses supported by a combination of axially and non-axially positioned implants in a large cohort of patients with completely edentulous jaws, up to 5 years of function.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and seventy-three edentulous patients (80 males and 93 females) were enrolled according to specific selection criteria. Each patient received a full-arch fixed prosthesis supported by two distal tilted implants and two anterior axially placed implants.
