Abstract
The purpose was evaluating the short term survival rate of extra narrow diameter dental implants (2.9 mm, Unitite Slim, S.I.N. Implant System) used to support full-arch mandibular reconstructions. This was a randomized clinical trial analyzing the survival rate of 25 implants measuring 2.9 mm in diameter and 11.5 mm in length (Slim, Unitite, S.I.N. Implant System), and up to 40 N loading torque with immediate loading for protocol-type rehabilitation in the mandible region. Of the 25 implants, 100% remained in function after three months or 180 days of installation. Rehabilitation of total edentulous patients in the mandible with extra-narrow implants (2.9 mm) proved to be effective and promising as an alternative therapy to grafts.
