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 ...

An implant-retained overdenture retained with 2 implants placed in the anterior edentulous mandible is a simple and predictable treatment option. The fabrication and use of this prosthesis requires satisfactory interarch space for adequate denture base thickness and esthetics. This clinical report describes the use of low-profile attachments for this overdenture design to solve the problem of l...

OBJECTIVES The need for denture treatment in public health will increase as the population ages. However, the impact of dentures on nutrition, particularly overdenture treatment, remains unclear although the physical and psychological effects are known. We investigated whether treatment with a mandibular implant supported overdenture improves nutrient intake and markers of nutritional status be...

Background: Retention and stabilization of implant-supported overdenture is associated with more patient satisfaction, chewing capability, oral health-related quality life. There are a variety implant retention systems which can be utilized to retain an overdenture. Telescopic attachments provide excellent resulting from friction. Objective: This study evaluates the force fatigue resistance rea...

An overdenture is a complete or removable partial denture that has one or more tooth roots or implants to provide a support. The study compares two types of prosthodontic treatment - overdenture supported by remained own teeth with ball attachments and that held by implants. The cohort of 35 patients (recall from 1 to 5 years) was evaluated. When subjectively and objectively assessed no signifi...

Introduction: The conventional treatment for completely edentulous patients is complete denture. But can have substantial difficulties using their dentures due to a lack of retention, support, and stability the related compromise in chewing ability. Endosseous implants been shown be valuable rehabilitation these patients. To enhance retention denture, various overdenture attachments systems use...

The lack of retention in complete dentures is a common complaint. The incorporation of the tooth supported overdenture in prosthodontics offers improvements related to patient satisfaction and masticatory capacity compared to the conventional complete denture. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception...

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 ...

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...
