Background: In modern dentistry implants play revolutionary role. Implant retained overdenture can be a simple treatment option to restore the edentulous mandible. Limitation such as severely resorbed jaw, unfavorable jaw relation and financial restriction sometimes prevent the placement of sufficient number of implant to accommodate a fixed prosthesis and thereforerequire an alternative for edentulous patients with compromised oral function. The basic concept of placing a limited number of implant to support an overdenture could be such an option. The aim of this study is to evaluate implant stability and marginal bone loss with different loading protocols. Material and Methods: A randomized control prospective study for 20 patients (13 males, 7females) aged 45- 65 years old. Data were collected from patients records registered fromNovember2017toDecember2019. Results: The implant stability was more in the Early loading since for retention and stability may provide the better state-of-the-art results for all the overdentures when a patient is amenable to the additional procedures involved. Conclusion: Early Loading cases (i.e when loading done at 2weeks with Complete mandibular denture) was more clinically efficient in comparison to Delayed loading cases (i.e when loading with complete mandibular denture done at 3month).
