In a prospective clinical study, 20 patients received 80 MDIs that were restored with mandibular overdentures. All treatment steps including placement of 40 MDIs were conducted by undergraduate students under strict guidance of a consultant. Next to students\u2019 perceptions after participation, survival of MDIs, and prosthodontic maintenance, patients\u2019 perceptions as well as peri-implant parameters were assessed after 4\u2009weeks and 3 and 12\u2009months.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Three MDIs fractured (two during insertion and one after 3 months; total survival 96.25%). Two overdentures fractured and a total of 23 cases of minor prosthodontic maintenance were required. Over time, patients\u2019 satisfaction significantly increased. Besides, questionnaires showed a high rate of students\u2019 positive perception and high self-confidence to include MDI therapy into own practice.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The results are in accordance to those reported by postgraduate dentists.
