title: Implants. Clinical applications of osseointegrated implants in general practice--reconstruction of a severely atrophied mandible with implant-supported overdenture.
abstract: Four Bränemark fixtures (7mm) were installed in the symphysis of the mandible between the mental foramen. The implants were splinted together with a major connector; four O-Ring Systems (ORS) were incorporated into the major connector for overdenture support and retention. Treatment delivery of both surgical and prosthetic components of this case was in a general practice setting as compared to the usual multi-disciplinary approach.
