Retention systems for implant-retained auricular prostheses using either bar-clip
attachments with 2 or 3 clips or retention with 2 or 3 magnets were wear tested (insertion …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the wear behavior of conical crowns of gold
alloy and zirconium dioxide ceramics facing electroplated gold copings. Methods: The …

Objectives: To evaluate and compare retentive and stabilizing properties of stud (ERA
Overdenture (orange and white), Locator Root (pink) and OP anchor# 4) and magnetic …

OBJECTIVES: The wear of telescopic crowns is a common problem often reducing the
patient's satisfaction with the denture and resulting in a renewal of the denture. The study …

Purpose To estimate the effects of the thermal cycling (TC) process on the metal surfaces of
Locators, as well as retention loss, and the correlation between them. Materials and …

The retentive and morphologic changes of overdenture attachments were evaluated
independently after repeated insertion and sinusoidal loading on implant abutments. Stud …

Background: New attachment systems are released for mandibular two-implant
overdentures often without evidence-based support. Biomaterial aspects are now the …

Purpose: To compare retention forces of 3 overdenture attachment systems with metal and
plastic components. Materials and Methods: Four samples of each system evaluated (Ball …

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 …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the wear behavior of conical crowns with
electroplated gold copings that are used to connect implants and teeth to a removable …
