A Total number of 36 implants were installed in 6 patients having mandibular single denture. The patients were divided into two groups according to the definitive prosthesis. Group I received ball and socket retained mandibular implant overdenture while Group II received cement retained implant supported fixed bridges.
Implant's stability, clinical performance (gingival index, pocket depth, plaque index and bleeding on probing) and patient's satisfaction were performed after 15, 30,60 and 90 days after prosthesis delivery

Implant stability were assessed on 15, 30,60 and 90 days of prosthesis delivery
Clinical evaluation included assessment of pocket depth, plaque index and bleeding on probing) around the implant abutments on 15, 30,60 and 90 days of prosthesis delivery
A questionnaire was used to evaluate patient satisfaction on 90 days at the end of follow up period.
