Utilizing Angled O-Ball Narrow-Diameter Implants to Solve the Restorative Challenge Posed by Alveolar Resorption: A Case Report.
An angled narrow-diameter implant has been introduced for use in cases where the atrophic edentulous ridge is wide enough to accommodate narrow-diameter implants but the necessary implant angulations would make it impossible to fabricate an esthetically acceptable overdenture. A case is described in which such implants were placed and restored.
