Abstract

A postmortem evaluation of a 5-implant–supported mandibular fixed complete denture that had successfully opposed a maxillary conventional complete denture for 30 years was undertaken. Before embalming, radiographs, implant stability measurements, push-in failure load tests, and histomorphometric analyses were performed on the implants and the mandible. Evaluation of this cadaver suggests that an edentulous mandible restored with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis can function successfully for over 30 years with few complications.
