STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Implant-retained overdentures are a treatment option for
patients who are not satisfied with conventional complete dentures. Although implant …

summary This study evaluated retention force and fatigue resistance of two overdenture
attachment systems. Twenty samples (O‐ring and Bar‐Clip) from two manufacturers …

PURPOSE This in vitro study investigated and compared the durability and retention of three
types of attachments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three commercially available …

Objectives: Wear of attachments leads to a loss of retention and potentially reduces the
function of complete dentures. This study evaluated the retention force changes of different …

This article presents a comparison between different attachment systems used to retain and
support maxillary and mandibular overdentures in completely edentulous patients. A …

Purpose. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of cyclic
dislodgement on the retention of an overdenture attachment system when 2 implants were …

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the change in the retentive force and
removal torque of three attachment systems during simulation of insertion-removal cycles …

Although implant-retained overdentures are a less expensive alternative to fixed implant-
supported prostheses in certain situations, problems with retentive clips fracturing and …

Statement of problem. There are few research studies concerning prefabricated posts
overdenture attachment systems using multiple pull cycles. Purpose. This study tested 6 …

Background It is necessary to know the in vitro behavior of different attachment systems to
be used clinically. The evolution of retention capacity over 10 years (14,600 insertion/de …
