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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background Mandibular two‐implant‐retained overdentures were suggested as first choice
of treatment for edentulous mandibles. However, wear of the attachments may reduce their …

The aim of this study was to compare the retention and release periods of the Nobel Biocare
bar and clip (NBC), Nobel Biocare ball (NB), Zest anchor (ZA), Zest magnet (ZM), and …

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 …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the retention and stability of the Nobel
Biocare standard ball (NBS), Nobel Biocare 2.25-mm-diameter ball (NB2), Zest Anchor (ZA) …

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 …

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 …
