Tilted Implants: An Alternative to Conventional Fabricated Dentures

Abstract

Rehabilitation of patients with completely edentulous maxilla and mandible with implant becomes difficult
because of less bone quantity, poor bone quality, maxillary sinus in posterior maxilla and mental foramen and
mandibular canal in mandible. Sinus lifting procedure and bone augmentation procedure were required to
treat such patients, prior to implant placement. This article reviews on an alternative treatment procedure in
which two posterior implants are placed at an angle eliminating the need for sinus lift or bone augmentation
procedures.
