Abstract :
Mandibular full-arch restoration is a good and successful treatment option for totally edentulous patients. In the past years, several
studies have described the placement of 4 to 6 implants to restore this type of case; however, an option using 3 dental implants
placed in strategic and specific positions could also be an alternative. Therefore, this case report describes a full-arch
rehabilitation on 3 straight, immediately loaded implants after 8 years of follow-up. The restoration presented no biological or
technical complications during this follow-up period, showing that an adequate treatment plan was able to allow good results
using this treatment option.
