  • Title: The use of root form implants in overdenture treatment for the atrophic mandible: a clinical report.
    Author: Piermatti J, Nikas J, Winkler S.
    Journal: J Oral Implantol; 2011 Dec; 37(6):723-6. PubMed ID: 21767215.
    Abstract:
    Four short root form implants were inserted in an atrophic mandible and the case restored with a lower connecting bar and an overdenture, opposing a complete maxillary denture. Root form implants were selected, as opposed to a subperiosteal implant in this case. The patient had a favorable medical history, appeared healthy, did not smoke, drink, or do illicit drugs, and had good bone quality.
