The aim of this study was to compare the retention and release periods of the Nobel Biocare
bar and clip (NBC), Nobel Biocare ball (NB), Zest anchor (ZA), Zest magnet (ZM), and …

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) …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the force and moment distributions that
develop on different implant overdenture attachments when vertical compressive forces are …

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 …

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 …

Purpose: The retentive forces and the strain energies absorbed during dislodging of implant
overdenture stud attachments are useful parameters to consider in the selection of …

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 …

The degree of retention for overdenture attachments depends on design, location, and
alignment of supporting dental implants and the type of attachments. The aim of this study …

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 …

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