Introduction: The aim of this study was to report the clinical outcomes of treatment of edentulous patients with fixed prostheses supported with dental implants. Methods: 20 patients were treated with 248 Galimplant^® external connection and sandblasted and acid-etched surface implants for fixed rehabilitation. Implants were loaded after a healing free-loading period of 2 months. The follow-up were at least 24 months. Results: 145 implants were inserted in maxilla and 103 implants in mandible. 27 fixed rehabilitations, 15 maxillary and 12 mandibular were realized. 100% of patients were restored with cemented fixed prostheses. Clinical results indicate a survival and success rate of implants of 98.4%. 4 implants were lost during the healing period. After a mean functioning period of 27.3 months, no late complications were reported. Conclusions: This study indicate that treatment with fixed protheses by dental implants in edentulous patients constitute a successful treatment.
