Short implants for mandible overdenture?
Last Updated: Jul 16, 2014
Astra has released a 6mm length implant, and there are a few other short implants on the market. Has anyone had much experience in using these shorter implants, especially in the anterior area on a resorbed mandible for Locators/ball attachments for an overdenture?
