Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Any healthy individual (ASA 1 and 2)( (Dexter and Thompson, 2001), aged 18 years or older at the time of enrollment, with complete edentulous mandible, or a failing dentition in the mandible, scheduled to receive an implant supported overdenture, will be considered eligible for the study.

Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
OT Equators® (Rhein83)
Locator® (Zest)
After gingival healing the newest low-profile OT Equators® (Rhein83) will be screwed on to the implants, using the OT Equator® square screwdriver (Rhein83), with a torque range of 22-25 N cm. The cuff heights ranged from 0.5 to 7.0 mm, depending on the height of the transition zone of each implant, easily measured using the color-coded millimeter Cuff Height Measurer Gauge (Rhein83) after healing abutment removal.
The low-profile attachments Locator® (Zest) will be screwed on to the implants, using the Locator® screwdriver (Zest), with a torque range of 20-25 N cm. The cuff heights of 2.5 or 4.0 mm, depending on the height of the transition zone of each implant, measured using the deep probe of the implant line after healing abutment removal.
