Removable dentures remain an essential prosthetic consideration in many conditions of oral
rehabilitation, especially when restoring edentulous spaces posterior to the anterior remaining teeth.
The problems could be attributed to the absence of the posterior abutment, placement of posterior
implants provides patients with unique service and benefits not possible with more conventional
treatment options. A 44 years old male with Kennedy class I mandibular partially edentulous ridge
extending distal to the second premolar, full dentition in maxillary arch, was complaining of poor
stability with his old denture .Two implants are placed in the second molar position (one in each side)
and received a removable partial denture supported on healing abutments. Patient was followed up for
one year clinically.
