supporting an overdenture, complications with prostheses and the need for prosthetic …

Dental specialists today are facing a major influx of completely edentulous patients and
patients with generalized compromised teeth who ask for cost-effective full mouth …

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the retention force of three different types of
overdenture attachment systems used in implant-retained mandibular complete …

Several attachment systems for mandibular implant-supported overdentures are currently
available and studies are required to understand their mechanical properties. The objective …

Statement of Problem. The specific degree of retention for overdenture attachments is
unknown in relation to design, location, and alignment to supporting dental implants …

Background There is a lack of studies evaluating the wear of the male components of the
ball attachment systems of implant‐retained overdentures. Purpose The purpose of this …
