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

Aim The objective of this systematic review is to show the current state of the art on which
type of attachment loses retention the most and has reduced durability and which factor …

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 …

A technique for the virtual designing of retentive attachment inserts for bar-retained 2-
implant mandibular overdentures is described. The bar attachment is scanned intraorally …

Objectives The aim of the present study was to evaluate the retention and loss of retention
after fatigue testing at different time intervals between two types of bar clip materials (digitally …

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 …

Statement of problem Loss of retention with implant overdentures is a problem that might be
addressed with materials such as a recently introduced biocompatible high-performance …

Purpose To evaluate and compare the initial retention force of three resilient unsplinted
attachment systems for implant‐retained mandibular overdentures: two cylindrical …

Statement of problem Evidence regarding the retention system for a mandibular overdenture
is important for treatment planning. However, the clinical performance of stud and ball …
