Effects of different numbers of mini-dental implants on alveolar ridge strain distribution under mandibular implant-retained overdentures

ConclusionsThe use of a low number of MDIs tends to produce low strain values in the retromolar denture-bearing area and around the terminal MDIs during posterior loadings. However, when using a high number of MDIs, the overdenture tends to have more stability during function.
