Effect of Different Denture base Materials on Stresses Transmitted to supporting structures of Implant-supported Mandibular Overdenture
Ahmed Shaaban
Abstract:Aim The purpose of this in vitro investigation was to assess the impact of mechanical loading on various denture materials on supporting structures.
Materials and methods:Two completely edentulous epoxy casts, four implant-retained overdentures were used in this study and divided into two groups; group (I): epoxy cast with two titanium implants and group; (II) two zirconia implants, each group is retaining a conventional acrylic overdenture and a flexible acrylic overdenture in place. The implants were positio… Show more
