Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous cleft lip and palate patient with a combined hard soft defect is great challenge, due to the lack retention obturator prosthesis as result its weight inability obtain border seal. Dental implants improve retention, stability, occlusal function prostheses when used in carefully selected cases. This clinical report presents unilateral who has defects atr...

PURPOSE To compare the changes in the occlusal vertical dimension, activity of masseter muscles and biting force after insertion of immediate denture constructed with conventional, tooth-supported and Implant-supported immediate mandibular complete denture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were selected and treatment was carried out with all the three different concepts i.e, immediate denture c...

This study was performed to compare between two types of implant supported overdentures, with and without attachments. Methods: Fourteen completely edentulous patients received two implants in the canine region and loaded 3 months thereafter. Patients have been grouped into two groups; group Iconsisted of seven patients with two ball attachments and group II seven patients with support only (do...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of attachment type on the load transmitted to implants and the residual ridge in a mandibular two-implant-supported overdenture in a model study. Ball attachments, locator attachments, and round-bar attachments were selected and examined. Static and dynamic vertical loads of 100 N were applied in the right first molar region. The load on the implants w...
