“…The meta-analysis revealed that, depending on the loading performed, the articles in which immediate loading was the option, the bone loss was greater. The risk of fracture was also assessed in this review, and it was observed that narrow implants are sometimes prone to fracture due to mechanical stresses between prosthetic components, the implant platform, and the surrounding bone surface [7][8][9]39]. In fact, important research has shown that they are only used in cases where the thin ridge is significantly resorbed.…”

Background: The present study analyzes the clinical aspects of the use of small-diameter implants for the fixation of total overdenture-type prostheses on both totally edentulous dental arches. Materials and methods: This is a review of all randomized controlled trials of at least ten patients with a control group in which at least two narrow implants were placed, published between January 2010 and July 2023. Most databases were analyzed, and clinical studies involving the insertion of at least two narrow implants (<3.5 mm in diameter) were analyzed. Results: Studies showed that the survival rate of narrow implants varied from 78% to 100%. Conclusions: The results indicated that narrow-type implants have satisfactory and predictable clinical performance for the long-term stability of overdenture-type prostheses.
