This study aimed to examine the retentive characteristics of each retentive element material
and the effects from thermocycling using the two implant-retained mandibular overdenture …

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

Statement of problem Implant-supported overdentures with a splinted or nonsplinted
attachment system have been a successful treatment option for edentulous mandibles with …

Objectives The aim of the present laboratory study was to investigate the retentive properties
and the wear of three different resin matrix attachments for implant overdentures as well as …

Statement of problem Changes in the intraoral condition immediately after implant
placement and in patients using fixed prosthetic appliances with implant abutments cause …

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 …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the published literature on in vitro articles
investigating the retentive force or wear features of different attachment systems, specifically …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Matrices of unsplinted attachment systems are generally
reported to be the weak component of implant overdentures, often requiring frequent …

Objective: to evaluate the retention of thermoplastic upper complete denture versus heat
cured upper complete dentureAbstract: Successful denture is affected by altered …

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