Mandibular overdenture dentures retained by two implants are viable options for oral rehabilitation of elderly patients. Different types of implant components are used for retention of these prostheses in the mouth, with the ball component being the most used. The aim of this study is to present a small variation of the conventional two-implant technique using the ball-type component by adding an implant and also replacing the component with a locator type (Neodent) for retention of the mandibular prosthesis.
