Purpose The effect of masticatory loads on the retention of overdenture attachments is
poorly documented. The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the effect of simulated …

Objectives: The effect of inter-implant distance on retention and resistance of implant-tissue-
supported overdentures is lacking in the literature. An in vitro study was performed to …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retention force of an O‐ring
attachment system in different inclinations to the ideal path of insertion, using devices to …

PURPOSE This in vitro study investigated and compared the durability and retention of three
types of attachments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three commercially available …

Purpose To evaluate and compare retentive properties of O‐ring and Locator attachments
for implant‐retained maxillary overdentures. Materials and Methods Four implant analogs …

Abstract < bold> Purpose: </bold> The purpose of this preliminary study was to
examine the influence of overdenture attachment height and shape on lateral force on …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Nonparallel implants, when used to retain overdentures, may
present a restorative challenge, particularly when using attachments. Premature wear of the …

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: Many different attachment systems (eg, bars, studs, magnets, telescopic copings)
have been used to retain overdentures. The current study aimed to investigate the load …

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 …
