Two or Four Dental Implants?
Last Updated: Sep 11, 2011
Dr. I. asks:
I have a patient in excellent health with no medical contra-indications to implant installation who presents with an edentulous mandible. The treatment plan is for a mandibular overdenture retained by implants placed in the anterior region. The implant fixtures that I have available to me are of the following dimensions: 4×8.5mm and 4×7.3mm. The occlusogingival height of the bone is about 10mm. Which would be the better treatment planning option to retain the mandibulr overdenture – 2 or 4 implants? Which of the two implant options should I use?
