    <abstract locale="en_US">Prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with unfavorable-implant-position or problematic implant angulation
is complicated. A completely-edentulous-patient with lower lip squamous-cell-carcinoma had undergone resective surgery twice. After radiotherapy of a total dose of 60cGy of 30 sessions
for about 3 months, moderate trismus was developed. Mouth commisurotomy was accomplished in order to insert three implants in the mandibular-anterior-region. Two distal implants were excessively tilted to achieve better biomechanical advantages and to obtain greater anterior-posterior-
distance which made prosthetic rehabilitation of the patient challenging. In the mandibular-custom-tray a lingual &#x201C;window&#x201D; was designed to accommodate the open-impression-copings.
Trial-denture-bases were tried-in. A putty index was recorded from arranged-mandibular-teeth. According to this index, a zigzag bar similar to letter &#x201C;M&#x201D; was designed using custom abutments. So that three ball anchors were placed on this &#x201C;M-designed-bar&#x201D; (MDB) more labial than the inserted
implants to support the mandibular-implant-supported-overdenture. Using MDB permits teeth-set-up with minimal interfere with tongue function. The major disadvantage of this design is its inevitable-buccal-cantilever. Distolingual areas of mandibular tray were border-molded excessively in order to overcome this problem and to increase stability and also to reduce detrimental-lateral forces to implants.
