Survival of overdenture relying on implant in the mandible depends on different factors. The purpose of this review study was evaluation of the clinical consequences (amount of survival, clinical efficiency of implant, loosening of the implant) of mandibular overdenture relying on implant. In this review study, the electronic references including MEDLINE, PubMed, SCOPUS and EMBASE were searched. It was searched for all published retrospective and prospective researches until 2015 in English that to be in relation with evaluation of the clinical consequences of mandibular overdenture relying on implant. 35 papers were selected and evaluated.
