Abstract

Interventions for replacing missing teeth: attachment systems for implant overdentures in edentulous jaws (Review)

Comparison of stud and telescopic crown attachments for mini-implant retained mandibular complete overdentures

“…When a comparison between the groups at the end of the year was done, it was found that bone loss around the implants for group II was greater than that for group I, and this difference in the bone height change was statistically significant; this could be explained by the more resiliency of the silicon cap that found in the ball attachment in group I which provide the most resilient option, permitting a vertical movement, and distribute the forces over the soft tissue and the bone (25,26) .…”

Early Loading of Two Implants Supporting Mandibular Overdentures in Geriatric Edentulous Patients: A 12-Year Follow-Up Study

“…Various types of implant-supported overdentures for mandibular edentulism are reported in the literature [2,7,8,[12][13][14][15]. In the present study, all patients were treated with an overdenture retained by a Locator ® type attachment that was connected to two implants.…”

The Influence of Patient-Related Factors and Material Selection on the Clinical Outcomes of Fixed and Removable Complete Implant Prostheses: An Overview on Systematic Reviews

“…32 The findings of the comprehensive review by Cehreli et al 31 evaluated the complications of both maxillary and mandibular RCIPs based on 49 studies, and attachment system had no effect on the incidence of technical complications. Similarly, a recent Cochrane review by Payne et al 37 based on 294 mandibular RCIPs reported no influence of different attachment systems on prosthodontic success or prosthodontic maintenance. Ball attachments showed higher short-term need for repair requirement compared to bar attachments; however, it was stated that the quality of the evidence was low.…”
