Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate Peri-implant strain with locator and bar attachment during dislodging of maxillary implant overdenture Materials methods: Four implants were inserted in completely edentulous acrylic model canine premolar areas. Experimental overdentures 4 metal hooks constructed connected the attachments (group I) or 2). Two gauges bonded at buccal palatal surface each imp...

OBJECTIVES This study investigates the outcome of short implants additionally placed with longer implants to support a maxillary overdenture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve patients received six implants to support a maxillary overdenture. Only one patient still had two molars in the maxilla, while the others had no remaining teeth. The status of the opposing arch was diverse. The distal implan...

Given the increasing life expectancy in the coming years, dental practitioners, as other specialists from different medical fields, will encounter an increasing number of complete edentulous patients. These patients, with a longer active life and higher standards of life quality, will have different expectations for their complete dentures, higher than the standard treatment that uses conventio...

The retention of a complete denture and the patient’s adaptation varies considerably among different individuals. Resorption of the edentulous alveolar ridge differs greatly and some patients need implant-retained overdentures to enable adequate retention of their prostheses. In some extreme cases it is necessary to increase the volume of the alveolar ridge with bone grafts. The aim of this stu...

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by abnormal enamel formation. This article outlines the treatment aspect for rehabilitation of occlusion using telescopic overdenture for a patient having amelogensis imperfecta.

the effect of inter-implant distance on retention and resistance of implant-tissue-supported overdentures is lacking in the literature. an in vitro study was performed to evaluate this effect for mandibular implant-tissue-supported overdentures retained by two ball attachments.an acrylic cast of an edentulous mandible was fabricated. three pairs of implants were symmetrically placed at both sid...

Edentulism is a debilitating and irreversible condition described as final marker of disease burden for oral health. Rehabilitating edentulous patients with residual ridge resorption has improved tremendously because Implant dentistry . Aims Objectives: To evaluate the crestal bone loss in mandibular implant over denture via locator ballsocket attachments: An In - Vivo study. Material method: T...

AIM The aim of this study is to compare the retention force of three different types of overdenture attachment systems used in implant-retained mandibular complete overdentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one similar acrylic resin blocks were prepared and divided into three study groups: Group A (snap attachment) - 10 specimens, Group B (locator attachment) - 1 specimen, and Group C (syncon...

AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the change in the retentive force and removal torque of three attachment systems during simulation of insertion-removal cycles. METHODOLOGY Edentulous mandibular models were made with heat-cured polymethyl methacrylate resin. Two implant replicas (CMI), of 3.75 mm diameter and 10 mm length, were placed in the intraforaminal region. Acrylic res...
