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 …

Purpose: The study evaluated in vitro the retention force and the wear resistance over
simulated function of four matrix components of ball attachments for implant‐retained …

Background There is a lack of studies evaluating the wear of the male components of the
ball attachment systems of implant‐retained overdentures. Purpose The purpose of this …

Objectives: Implant‐supported overdentures have become the treatment of choice in
restoring complete edentulism, but the types of attachment to assure durable retention are a …

The retaining system commonly used in overdenture prostheses is the ball attachments,
which are deformed over time, which can affect the retention and stability of the prosthesis …

Objectives: The retentive properties of implant-retained overdentures (IRO) may be
influenced by the type of attachments. The aim of this research was to compare the retention …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Loss of retention of implant-retained overdentures due to wear
of the patrix or matrix of the attachment system is a common clinical problem. PURPOSE …

Aims: The current study compared the changes in retentive force and patterns of surface
wear of nylon rings of two stud attachments (ball and locator) upon cyclic loading. Subjects …

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 …

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