Evaluation of Maximum Biting Force in Two Different Attachment Systems (Bollard vs. Ball and Socket) Retaining Mandibular Overdenture: A Split-mouth Design
Abstract:AIM: The study was conducted to evaluate maximum biting force (MBF) in two different attachment systems (bollard a vs. ball and socket attachment) retaining mandibular overdenture using a split-mouth design.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twelve completely edentulous patients received complete dentures and after adaption of the patient with the new denture, 24 implants were inserted in the canine region using two-stage surgical technique and conventional loading protocol.
