Statement of problem The loss in the retentive capability of implant-supported overdenture
attachments has been related to the wear of the retentive inserts. Wear of the abutment …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Implant-retained overdentures are a treatment option for
patients who are not satisfied with conventional complete dentures. Although implant …

Purpose: To compare retention forces of 3 overdenture attachment systems with metal and
plastic components. Materials and Methods: Four samples of each system evaluated (Ball …

Objectives: Wear of attachments leads to a loss of retention and potentially reduces the
function of complete dentures. This study evaluated the retention force changes of different …

Purpose: To compare different retentive cap material used in LOCATOR attachments,
namely the nylon retentive cap versus PEEK retentive caps, and measure the loss of …

Purpose: To compare the retentive properties of ball and locator attachments during 5,000
insertion-separation cycles, corresponding to approximately 4.5 years of clinical use …

Purpose. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of cyclic
dislodgement on the retention of an overdenture attachment system when 2 implants were …

Statement of problem Changes in the intraoral condition immediately after implant
placement and in patients using fixed prosthetic appliances with implant abutments cause …

Background Clinical success with mandibular implant overdentures is highly dependent on
a reliable attachment system connecting prosthesis and implants. Purpose To compare the …

Objectives The aim of the present laboratory study was to investigate the retentive properties
and the wear of three different resin matrix attachments for implant overdentures as well as …
