Figure 8. Five-year follow-up after last readjustment. Clinical (A) and radiographic (B) findings. The cosmetic appearance of the upper prosthesis was acceptable. The marginal bone level appeared generally preserved. Using unloaded distal implants may be unnecessary given that the prostheses (upper and lower) have a suitable “length” even without use of the upper distal implants. The distal unloaded implants did not interfere with function.
