Objectives: Wear of attachments leads to a loss of retention and potentially reduces the
function of complete dentures. This study evaluated the retention force changes of different …

Purpose: To compare retention forces of 3 overdenture attachment systems with metal and
plastic components. Materials and Methods: Four samples of each system evaluated (Ball …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Implant-retained overdentures are a treatment option for
patients who are not satisfied with conventional complete dentures. Although implant …

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 …

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 …

Statement of problem Retentive force and loss of retention should be considered when
selecting an attachment. Studies that evaluate the retentive force and the effect of repeated …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the retention characteristics of various
overdenture attachment systems commonly used to retain overdentures to dental implants …

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 …

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: 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 …
