“…A 2IOD is a satisfying, functional solution for the edentulous patient with a high implant survival rate (De Bruyn, Raes, Matthys, & Cosyn, ; Kern, Kern, Wolfart, & Heussen, ). Recent reviews, evaluating bar and ball connections, predominantly in short‐term studies, showed that an IOD in general has a positive effect on the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of the edentulous patient (De Bruyn et al, ; Reissmann, Dard, Lamprecht, Struppek, & Heydecke, ; Zhang, Lyu, Shang, Niu, & Liang, ). The cylindrical stud attachment (Locator) is widely used in general practice and has proven to be effective in IOD retention as well as OHRQoL improvement (Bilhan, Geckili, Sulun, & Bilgin, ; Enami et al, ; Fernandez‐Estevan, Selva‐Otaolaurruchi, Montero, & Sola‐Ruiz, ; Khalid, Yunus, Ibrahim, Elkezza, & Masood, ; Kleis, Kämmerer, Hartmann, Al‐Nawas, & Wagner, ).…”
