Summary

Mini-implants have emerged as a practical and less invasive solution for the rehabilitation of edentulous mandibles, offering reduced surgical complexity, lower cost, and faster healing compared to conventional implants. These advantages make them especially suitable for elderly patients or those with systemic health concerns or limited bone volume. Despite their growing clinical use, evidence from well-designed randomized controlled trials evaluating the impact of mini-implant-retained overdentures on patients' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is still scarce. Establishing this evidence is crucial for guiding treatment decisions in resource-constrained settings and improving the standard of care for edentulous individuals. This research aims to provide high-quality data on the effectiveness of mini-implants in improving OHRQoL, as measured by OHIP-14, compared to conventional dentures./
