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...

PURPOSE Studies of maxillary overdentures supported by endosseous implants often show a high implant failure rate. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate clinically and radiographically non-submerged implants supporting an overdenture in the maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one patients were consecutively admitted for treatment. The standard procedure was to place 4 implants...

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effect of lingualized occlusion monoplane on theperi-implant bone level mandibular overdenture retained by two splinted mini-implants using Cone BeamComputed Tomography(CBCT).Methodology: Fourteen completely edentulous patients were divided randomly into equal groups: GroupI received Mini-implant retaining overdentures with their occlusal scheme set accord...

Mandibular single denture opposed by maxillary natural dentition showed a great problem. However, mandibular implant overdenture treatment has gained considerable recognition. Ten male patients with complete mandibular edentulous arch and opposing arch have full natural dentition. Patients were divided into two groups. All patients received two endosseous titanium implants. In Group I, patients...

PURPOSE This bibliographical review aims to determine the present situation of the implant-supported milled bar overdenture as a therapeutic option in implantology, as well as to set and compare the techniques and materials currently used for making them. MATERIALS AND METHODS By searching the main electronic bibliographical data in indexed Medline articles, we obtained a total number of 20 a...

Edentulous patients with a severely resorbed mandible often experience problems with their dentures. Treatment concepts involving two to four implants for the support of an overdenture have been proposed. The aim of this study was to develop a treatment concept for mandibular overdentures supported by endosseous implants based on a review of the literature. It is proposed that two implants supp...
