“…The results obtained here show that there are statistically significant differences in the retention forces of the attachment retentive caps made by different manufacturers. However, in this study, the initial retentive forces are different between all of the groups, and although they are made of the same material, there are different compositions; therefore, each one has a different elasticity and consequent retention capability [31]. Consequently, these results should not be the most relevant since the main objective was to observe the influence of the cleaning solutions on the retention and degradation of the different brands of overdenture attachments.…”

“…The quality and mechanical properties of the attachment system used on overdentures are some of the most important factors for improving patient satisfaction, retention, phonetics, and mastication. Therefore, knowing which factors influence the behavior and longevity of the overdenture components is crucial-attachment material, design, treatment surface, insertion and removal cycles, parafunctional habits, patient's saliva pH, type of nutritional diet, types of drinks, and temperature variations [29][30][31][32].…”

“…Many studies show that cleaning solutions can lead to an increase in hardness and surface following oral rehabilitation. This may be related to the possible loss of soluble components, such as polymers, acrylics, and metals, leaving empty spaces, corrosion, degradation, and discoloration [19,22,31,33].…”

“…This compound was not included in our study, due to the lack of advice on behalf of professionals on the use of this solution as a hygiene solution for dental rehabilitation. Additionally, NaOCl is associated with some changes in the morphology of the polyamide surface that leads to the creation of porosities and cracks, and causes a loss of retention in the attachment's materials [31,[34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

Dental-implant-supported reconstructions provide comfort and improvements in prosthetic function, adaptation, and stability over conventional treatment options. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of multiple cleaning solutions on dentures and their influence on the deterioration and loss of retention of overdenture attachments in a 12-month clinical-use simulation. In this way, four different brands of retentive caps made of Teflon (OT Equator, Locator®, Kerator®, and Locator R-Tx®) were immersed in five different cleaning solutions (Kukident®, Benfix®, Corega®, and Protefix®), and tap water was used as the control group, in a simulation that lasted 12 months. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and a Tukey HSD. Furthermore, a Levene Test and Shapiro–Wilk tests were performed to assess the validation of the ANOVA assumptions. The statistical analysis was performed using R version 4.2.2 software with the significance level set to p &lt; 0.05. There were significant statistical differences between the different manufacturers on the retention forces of the attachment’s retentive caps. For the cleaning solution groups, different statistical results between Kukident® and Benfix® were observed. There were no significant statistical differences between Corega®, Protefix®, and tap water despite the fact that the retention forces decreased in all of them.
