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 …

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 …

Statement of problem Evaluation of the long-term retentive behavior of overdenture
attachments is necessary for successful treatment. Interimplant distance (IID) could affect the …

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

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the change in the retentive force and
removal torque of three attachment systems during simulation of insertion-removal cycles …

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

Objectives This in vitro study aimed to compare changes in retentive force due to cyclic
dislodging of three novel un‐splinted attachments. Materials and Methods Experimental …

Objectives To assess the effect of implant angulation on the retention of two different
attachment systems for implant‐supported overdentures after a simulated fatigue period of …

Background It is necessary to know the in vitro behavior of different attachment systems to
be used clinically. The evolution of retention capacity over 10 years (14,600 insertion/de …

Introduction: Overdentures supported and retained by endosteal implants depend upon
mechanical components to provide retention. Ball attachments are frequently described …
