Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the retention and stability of the Nobel
Biocare standard ball (NBS), Nobel Biocare 2.25-mm-diameter ball (NB2), Zest Anchor (ZA) …

This study sought to determine the influence of mechanical fatigue on four varieties of
implant overdenture studtype attachments (Supra-Snap, O'Ring, TSIB, ZAAG) …

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

I recision-type attachments are commonly used to enhance the retention and stability of
overdentures. This not only adds considerably to the overall cost of the treatment but also …

The aim of this study was to validate an original portable device to measure attachment
retention of implant overdentures both in the lab and in clinical settings. The device was built …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of different
attachment systems used for mandibular single-implant overdentures and to compare their …

ABSTRACT Unlabelled Image Background Two important factors in the use of implant-
retained overdentures are cleansability and patients' satisfaction. Limited research has been …

Purpose: The study evaluated in vitro the retention force and the wear resistance over
simulated function of four matrix components of ball attachments for implant‐retained …

Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the peri‐implant soft tissue health
status of implants supporting overdentures with bar attachments or ball attachments in the …

Statement of problem The performance of a recently introduced overdenture attachment
system after cyclic dislodgement is not known. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study …
