Methods Ten patients with severely resorbed edentulous mandibles were en-rolled. Each patient received 4 implants,two posteriors placed tilted implants. Immediate loading of tilted implants were applied in all cases using a fixed provisional prosthesis. All patients were finalized 3-4 months with fixed pros-theses. Results 40/40 implants with initial torque(>35N.cm)were followed 1-1.5 years presenting 100%surviv-al. Conclusion The method of using tilted implants and fixed prostheses in the cases of severely resorbed edentu-lous mandibles can achieve an ideal short-term and medium-term effects.
