Abstract:BackgroundThe literature is unclear about how the different attachment systems for overdentures impact the maximum bite force, the masticatory efficiency and how this impact in the oral health self‐perception in patients.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of two attachment systems (O‐ring and Locator) for mandibular overdenture using single implant on quality of life, maximum bite force (BF) and masticatory efficiency (ME).MethodsTwenty‐eight completely edentulous denture wearers with a mandibular symphysis impla… Show more
