Aim: Most patients without all posterior teeth are mostly treated with removable partial dentures (RPDs) retained by clasps or attachments, but treatment possibilities for the Kennedy Class I patients include more different options: implant retained or implant assisted RPDs or fixed partial dentures on implants.

However, no studies have been conducted on whether slim implant (Mini dental implants, MDIs) can be used for better retention and stability of long saddle RPDs and what long-term effects would such treatment provide. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic performance of MDIs in strategic positions to retain and support RPDs. Materials and Methods: A convenience sample of 52 patients of Kennedy Class I without all posterior teeth providing only linear support to a denture with slim alveolar ridges ( |
