Effect of Two Retention Modalities on Single Midline Implant Supporting Mandibular Overdenture

AIM: The purpose of this research was to examine the effect locator attachment versus retention silicone lining material on supporting structure and a single midline implant mandibular overdenture. METHODS: Sixteen patients with completely edentulous mandibles were selected for study divided into two groups. In all patients, placed at area after cone-beam radiography performed. Group I retained attachment, while II material. Follow-up carried out denture insertion, 6 months 12 following insertion. Peri-implant bone loss as well posterior evaluated using computerized tomography force meter device wire hook attaches prosthesis. RESULTS: There statistically significant difference in peri-implant between groups 2nd follow-up period end (p ≤ 0.05). no studied 0.05) regarding that there along periods. CONCLUSION: From results obtained from study, it could be concluded showed lower than liner overall difference. This attributed decrease resiliency over time more permanent attachment.
