This article describes the flapless placement of mini-dental implants (MDI) to retain mandibular overdentures. Clinical inclusion/exclusion criteria and clinical protocols for the flapless placement of MDIs and for retrofitting the overdenture are presented. A minimum bone height of 13 mm and a minimal flap are recommended. After drilling, the 4 implants are placed with a self-tapping process. A minimum of 15 Ncm of resistance upon final insertion indicates that immediate loading can be performed. The metal housings with O-rings are incorporated into the prosthesis using autopolymerizing resin. The technique and protocol for immediately loaded 4-mini-implant mandibular overdentures is minimally invasive and cost effective.
