title: Restoration of the atrophied mandible using basal osseointegrated implants and fixed prosthetic superstructures.
abstract: The nonremovable reconstruction of the atrophic mandible is possible with basal osseointegrated implants in an immediate-load procedure. Between 4 and 5 implants are necessary to form a reliable foundation for a fixed bridge. The vertical dimension and the aesthetic appearance may be reconstructed in the desired way.
