Endosteal Implants in the Posterior Mandible: Technique and Placement Considerations
The rehabilitation of a fully edentulous patient is performed “live” utilizing the All-
on-4TM Concept.
An overview of bone biology, osseointegration and implant design is provided. The clinician describes the anatomical considerations an limitations related to implant placement in the mandible, and will present data on implant survival rates relative to implant diameter in the posterior region.
