Abstract

The clinical case describes the method of replacing a lower molar tooth with two small-diameter dental implants. The method allows reducing trauma and also reducing by 2 times the rehabilitation period of patients after implant treatment due to the absence of the need for additional surgical osteoplastic interventions, and also significantly improves the prognosis of treatment.

Key words:

small diameter dental implants, replacing lower molars teeth
