Statement of problem The LOCATOR system has been widely used for 2-implant-retained
mandibular overdentures (2-MOs), but the influence of different LOCATOR attachments on …

In general, an implant is loaded via axial and horizontal forces. Besides this, moment
loading can also occur. The aim of this study was to investigate how different prosthetic …

There has been an increase in the provision of implant-supported prostheses in patients
unable to tolerate conventional dentures. Unfortunately, many patients are unable to benefit …

Objective To examine the efficacy of the magnetic retainer as compared with canine-to-
canine retainers bonded to each tooth. Materials and Methods Using digital models of 39 …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of distal implant inclination on axial and nonaxial retentive
forces of different Locator attachments used to retain mandibular overdentures. Materials …

Objective This in vitro study evaluated the influence of implant angulations on the retentive
behavior of two overdenture attachments during cyclic dislodging. Methods Models …

Background Mandibular two‐implant‐retained overdentures were suggested as first choice
of treatment for edentulous mandibles. However, wear of the attachments may reduce their …

Objective: to evaluate the effect of bar and clip attachment systems with different materials
on retention forces for two implant supported mandibular over dentures after wear …

Purpose: To obtain maximum attractive force for magnetic attachments, the degree of
flatness of the keeper surface is very important. This study evaluated the flatness of keeper …
