What is the optimal location to place two implants for an implant-retained mandibular overdenture?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The canine regions
- A. Correct. The canine (lateral–canine) regions provide ideal anteroposterior spread, good bone, and avoid the mental foramina.
- B. Posterior placement risks the inferior alveolar canal and offers poorer support distribution.
- C. A single midline location gives no anteroposterior spread for two implants.
- D. Premolar sites approach the mental foramen and are not the classic recommendation.
