Methods 3D finite element models were prepared using Pro/ENGINEER or PTC Creo to
simulate 4 clinical situations: IOs using two different attachment systems, locator and …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate stress patterns generated within implant-supported
mandibular overdentures retained by two different attachment types: ball and socket and …

Statement of the problem: A key factor for the success or failure of dental implants is the
manner in which stresses are transferred to surrounding bone. Purpose of the study: The …

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the stress distribution in Locator
attachments in mandibular two-implant overdentures according to implant locations and …

Purpose To analyze and compare the stress distribution in an implant‐retained overdenture
complex using ball and Locator attachments of three heights by means of a 3D finite element …

Background: Optimal stress distribution around implants plays an important role in the
success of mandibular overdentures. This study sought to assess the pattern of stress …

PURPOSE The design of the attachment must provide an optimum stress distribution around
the implant. In this study, for implant overdentures with a bar/clip attachment or a locator …

AIM: This study aimed to compare the stresses generated by using two or four root form
dental implants supporting mandibular overdentures that were retained with ball and locator …

Objective: To compare the biomechanical characteristics of four-implants mandibular
overdentures supported by Locator attachment or bar-clip attachment under different …

Background: This study evaluates the stress distribution and force distribution on the
surrounding bones in ball and locator attachments in bone level and tissue level implants …
