objective: retention and resistance of the implant-tissue supported overdenture may be affected by the type of attachment. the aim of this research was to compare the retention and resistance of nobel biocare ball (nbb), nobel biocare bar and clip (nbbc) and sterngold era red (erar) attachments on an implant-tissue supported overdenture model. materials and methods: the attachment samples were ...

INTRODUCTION Every patient needs a comprehensive treatment planning. Dentists must consider the advantages and disadvantages of the available implant prosthetic options and match them to patient's expectations. Hybrid denture prosthesis is one, i.e., fabricated and retained by screw threaded into implant abutments, most of the time on four implants. Sometimes due to failure of an implant, the p...

The prime focus of dentistry is on preservation of teeth and other oral structures rather than replacing what is lost. An overdenture fulfills this by preserving alveolar ridge integrity and maintaining the proprioceptive ability of the periodontium. An immediate denture replaces the lost teeth and associated structures of the maxillae and mandible at the time of extraction. This case report co...

OBJECTIVE There is no definitive study comparing stress distribution around two versus three implants in implant-retained overdentures with different cantilever length. The purpose of this finite element study was to evaluate stress pattern around the implants of the 2 or 3 implant- supported mandibular overdenture with different cantilevered length. MATERIALS AND METHODS The models used in t...

Introduction. Milled precision bar with the lateral additions of two attachments could significantly contribute to primary and secondary retention partial denture overdenture. This clinical case demonstrates stability mandibular overdenture using milled coronally positioned attachments. Case report. A sixty-five years old male patient had preserved canine roots in lower jaw. Semicircular metal-...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Over 30% of the world population suffers from edentulism. Implant supported overdenture have been a relatively successful treatment option for edentulism and have shown to slowed the rate of residual resorption and maintain the vertical height of the residual. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to measure patient masticatary efficiency and satisfaction with the mandibu...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate fatigue of stud (ERA Overdenture (orange and white), Locator Root (pink) and OP anchor # 4) and magnetic (Magfit EX600W) attachments by measuring maximum retentive force. To compare retentive force of overdenture attachments after their reach stable retention. To determine minimum number of cycles required to reach stable retention. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three specimens ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically median lingualized occlusion in implant-retained mandibular complete overdenture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten completely edentulous male patients were participated in this study. Each patient received two implants in the intraforaminal area of the edentulous mandible that were left unloaded for 4 months. Patien...

The aim was to systematically review the efficacy of immediate loaded mini dental implants (MDIs) retain mandibular overdentures in regards survival rates MDIs, peri-implant clinical and radiographic tissue response associated factors. A literature search English performed using Google Scholar, Scopus, Web Science, MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, PubMed predetermined inclusion criteria. Specific terms ...
