A clinical pilot study on overdentures retained by two unsplinted narrow-diameter implants– oral health-related quality of life and masticatory function
In this clinical pilot study, the rehabilitation of a completely edentulous maxilla and mandible with two implants and a removable overdenture significantly enhanced OHRQoL and both subjective and objective masticatory ability over an observation period of 36 months.
