Materials and Methods The type, sample size, and specifications of the attachment pairs
used in this in vitro study are shown in Table 1. All pairs were tested at IDs of 19, 23, and 29 …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the retentive forces of five
different prosthetic attachment designs on mandibular overdentures retained by two or three …

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: There is a lack of clinical studies on the self‐aligning attachment system
(Locator®; Zest Anchors, Inc. homepage, Escondido, CA, USA) for two‐implant‐retained …

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. Bar and stud attachments are widely used to stabilize overdentures
on implants in the mandible. There is strong evidence that retention of the attachment is an …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the published literature on in vitro articles
investigating the retentive force or wear features of different attachment systems, specifically …

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the prosthodontic maintenance requirements
during the first year of service of mandibular overdentures supported by interforaminal …

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the influence of (1) the interimplant distance
and (2) the type of attachment on the retention of mandibular overdentures on 2 implants …

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