Optimization of attention mechanisms in choral conducting education using EEG and eye movement tracking with transfer learning algorithms.

The use of two implants for a mandibular implant‐overdenture (IOD) opposing a complete maxillary denture has been regarded as the minimum standard of implant treatment for the edentulous patient (Feine et al. ; Thomason et al. ; Schimmel et al. ). This approach provides improved patient benefits compared to conventional complete dentures as a result of superior stability and retention and improved oral function (Klemetti et al. ; Walton ; Abou‐Ayash et al. ). Nevertheless, several alternatives varying the number and type of implant systems have been proposed to optimize treatment procedures, minimize treatment burdens, and improve patient experience (Stoker et al. ; Meijer et al. ; Lee et al. ; Raabe et al. ). An alternative approach using narrow‐diameter implants, namely “mini‐implants” with < 2.5 mm diameter, has been used to reduce the morbidity of the surgical intervention, providing less invasive and straightforward interventions, especially for elder patients and those with limited alveolar width (Klein et al. ). Previous studies have reported satisfactory clinical and dental Patient‐Reported Outcomes (dPROs) with mini‐implant retained IODs (Reissmann et al. ; Enkling et al. ), although implant survival has been considered lower compared to conventional implants (Schiegnitz and Al‐Nawas ). Studies with early mini‐implant systems revealed important biomechanical and biological limitations, including increased implant fracture, greater marginal bone loss, compromised long‐term stability, and increased prosthetic maintenance, raising concerns about their indiscriminate use (Shatkin et al. ; Bidra and Almas ). Mini‐implants showed inferior outcomes compared with conventional implants, mostly due to overloading, insufficient implant numbers, and inappropriate case selection, reinforcing that early mini‐implant failures were largely technique‐ and indication‐dependent (Bidra and Almas ; De Souza et al. ; Schiegnitz and Al‐Nawas ).
