In Chilean public hospitals, patients with Complete Edentulous Mandible are treated with Implant-Retained and Mucosa-supported Overdenture (IRMO). For this purpose, the guidelines of the pilot plan “Valued Benefits Program in Dentistry 2012, Ministry of Health” have been adapted. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether these adapted protocols have been successful. We measured implant survival and success, and impact on quality of life with OHIP-14 criteria. Results indicate 100% implant survival and success and improved quality of life. Conclusion: IRMO improves patients’ quality of life in public services.
