Purpose: To evaluate bone response in the posterior area of edentulous mandibles rehabilitated with fixed prosthesis supported on dental implants considering baseline severity of mandibular atrophy.

Material And Methods: The sample included 15 patients in whom 5 implants were inserted between the mental foramens. The prosthesis followed a cantilever extension from 15 to 20 mm.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the primary and secondary stability of immediately loaded mandibular implants restored with fixed prostheses using either rigid or semi-rigid splinting systems.
  • Fifteen edentulous patients participated, with implants placed in two different groups: one using a conventional rigid bar and the other a semi-rigid cantilever extension system.
  • Results showed a 100% implant survival rate in both groups, with no significant differences in stability measurements over the 8-month follow-up, indicating that both splinting methods were effective for restoration.

The aims of this article were to describe the surgical technique of the inferior alveolar nerve lateralization followed by implant installation by means of a clinical report and also to discuss the importance of an adequate surgical and prosthetic planning for atrophic posterior mandible rehabilitation.
