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 …

Purpose Limited information is currently available relative to the effect of masticatory loads
on the retentive properties of Locator attachments. The aims of this in vitro study were to …

Statement of problem Implant angulation should be considered when selecting an
attachment. Some in vitro studies have investigated the relationship between implant …

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the prosthodontic maintenance requirements
during the first year of service of mandibular overdentures supported by interforaminal …

Objectives To assess the effect of implant angulation on the retention of two different
attachment systems for implant‐supported overdentures after a simulated fatigue period of …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the retentive forces of five
different prosthetic attachment designs on mandibular overdentures retained by two or three …

Objectives This in vitro study aimed to compare changes in retentive force due to cyclic
dislodging of three novel un‐splinted attachments. Materials and Methods Experimental …

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 …

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro investigation was to measure the forces generated
during the continuous seating and unseating of prefabricated attachment systems used to …

Statement of problem. Bar and stud attachments are widely used to stabilize overdentures
on implants in the mandible. There is strong evidence that retention of the attachment is an …
