Edentulism is a chronic condition and is considered as a handicap according to WHO. The palliative therapy for edentulous patients is a set of removable complete dentures. Though it is an economical option for the elderly, the conventional denture has certain shortcomings of which the major problem is with the retention and stability of the mandibular prostheses which often result in inability to masticate food, decreased self-confidence, decreased quality of life, decreased social contact and satisfaction1. Residual ridge resorption is an inevitable consequence of tooth loss and denture wearing with no dominant causative factor having been found. A simple type of anchorage was attempted to achieve a minimum variant by using one single median implant to retain mandibular complete denture. A marked improvement was noted in the patient reported outcomes that showed significant increase in subjective chewing ability after insertion of single implant to retain a mandibular overdenture.
