Purpose To compare retention and stability of Locator and bar attachments for implant‐
retained maxillary overdentures. Materials and Methods Four implants were inserted into a …

Background and objectives: Long-term studies of clinical outcomes of mini-implants (MDIs)
in the first premolar/canine sites retaining a bilateral free-ending removable partial dentures …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of distal implant inclination on axial and nonaxial retentive
forces of different Locator attachments used to retain mandibular overdentures. Materials …

Restoratively driven implant planning in the posterior maxilla requires a comprehensive
understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes of the alveolar bone following …

Background Complications of distal extension mandibular removable partial dentures are:
loss of retention, irritation, and so forth. Dental implants have been used to support distal …

Purpose To analyze and compare the stress distribution in an implant‐retained overdenture
complex using ball and Locator attachments of three heights by means of a 3D finite element …

Background Through the biomechanical study of dental implants, it is possible to understand
the dissipation effects of masticatory loads in different situations and prevent the longevity of …

The new Ti–Zr (Roxolid®) mini-implants have not yet been fully researched. We analyzed
peri-implant and posterior edentulous area microstrains during mandibular overdenture …

The aim of this finite element study was to analyze effect of supporting implants inclination
on stress distribution in the bone for a four-unit fixed partial denture. A three-dimensional …

Statement of problem The 2-implant mandibular overdenture is a popular treatment for the
edentulous mandible, but information on optimum implant positions and/or angulations and …
