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

A plethora of attachment systems for mandibular two-implant overdentures is currently
available often without evidence-based support. Technical aspects are now parameters …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the retentive properties of an attachment with
a nylon insert and an attachment with a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) insert on two-implant …

Statement of problem The location of dental implants and the choice of retentive attachments
for implant-retained overdentures are selected based on clinician preference, expert …

Objectives Retention of overdentures is important for patients' satisfaction. The study tested
whether the clinical performance of retentive clips made of poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) …

This study assessed the effect of simulated mastication on the retention of two stud
attachment systems for 2‐implants overdentures. Sixteen specimens, each simulating an …

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 …

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 …

This article presents a study on the effect of implant distribution and number on the retention
and stability of a simulated prosthesis. It examines differences between different attachment …

The use of LOCATOR® attachments in implant‐supported removable dental prostheses
(ISRDPs) has been evidenced with conflicting clinical behavior in literature. This …
