Abstract
This case report illustrates some of the advantages gained by placing a single implant in the midline of the intersym-physeal region of the mandible, which can be used to retain a complete mandibular overdenture in patients with a compromised atrophic mandible opposing a maxillary complete denture. This approach is a valid treatment option for patients with limited financial and therapeutic means. This case report, along with other evidence, demonstrates that a mandibular single implant-retained overdenture is a viable treatment option for a specific group of patients.
