Since their introduction, implant-retained overdentures have represented a feasible,
economical, and highly successful treatment option for completely edentulous patients …

The functionality of a new overdenture attachment (LOCATOR R-Tx) was described for
different clinical situations: a conventional mandibular implant overdenture (IOD) retained by …

Background It is necessary to know the in vitro behavior of different attachment systems to
be used clinically. The evolution of retention capacity over 10 years (14,600 insertion/de …

Statement of problem. There are few research studies concerning prefabricated posts
overdenture attachment systems using multiple pull cycles. Purpose. This study tested 6 …

Background: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the complications associated
with the different attachments used in implant-supported overdentures, including prosthetic …

Purpose Primary retention and gradual loss of retention of different attachment systems are
important key factors in proper attachment selection; however, studies on attachment …

Purpose To compare retention and stability of Locator and bar attachments for implant‐
retained maxillary overdentures. Materials and Methods Four implants were inserted into a …

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro investigation was to measure the forces generated
during the continuous seating and unseating of prefabricated attachment systems used to …

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 …

The aim of this qualitative study was to gain a deeper understanding of patient perceptions
of wearing implant-retained overdentures with ball-shaped or cylindrical attachment …
