Attachment systems (AS) enhance retention and stability by anchoring the overdentures to
implants. Since 2002, the McGill consensus statement recommends the 2-implant-retained …

Objectives This prospective study analyses the 5‐year clinical outcome, patient satisfaction
and the technical outcome of a 2‐implant overdenture on stud abutments. In addition, the …

Statement of problem Evaluation of the long-term retentive behavior of overdenture
attachments is necessary for successful treatment. Interimplant distance (IID) could affect the …

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

Background The stud-shaped attachment systems (AS) with different shape designs (ball,
cylindrical, conical) and materials (metallic, plastic, or a combination of both) are commonly …

The ball attachments and their O-rings used for the retention and stabilization of
overdentures showed a decrease in retention as the number of cycles increased. This fact …

Objectives The aim of the current study is to investigate the influence of mechanical stress as
well as cleaning agents on the performance of various polyether ether ketone (PEEK) inserts …

The ability to provide high-quality complete dentures is a key skill for the general dental
practitioner. The introduction of new implant attachments and dental technologies has …

Background Clinical success with mandibular implant overdentures is highly dependent on
a reliable attachment system connecting prosthesis and implants. Purpose To compare the …

Statement of problem The performance of a recently introduced overdenture attachment
system after cyclic dislodgement is not known. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study …
