Summary

This study aims to test the combined effects of different loading protocols and surgical approaches on clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following the use of four mini implants for mandibular overdenture retention.

The main study hypotheses are:

1. There are significant improvements in PROMs following implant intervention compared to baseline measures;
2. Immediately loaded mini implants have similar failure rates compared to mini implants receiving a delayed 6-week protocol.
3. Flapless surgery has similar post-insertion outcomes compared to flapped surgery.

Conditions

  • Edentulous Mouth
  • Complete Edentulism

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Implant placement with flapped surgery

Four mini implants will be placed reflecting a flap.

PROCEDURE

Implant placement with flapless surgery

Four mini implants will be placed without reflecting a flap.

PROCEDURE

Implant immediate loading

Four mini implants will be immediately loaded.

PROCEDURE

Implant delayed loading

Four mini implants will be loaded after a 6-week healing period.
