Comparison of prefabricated and custom-made bars used for implant-retained mandibular complete overdentures.

Purpose: To compare prefabricated and custom-made bars used for implant-retained mandibular complete overdentures.

Materials: Ten completely edentulous patients were selected for replacement with dental implants. Each patient received 2 (press-fit) dental implants, 1 implant on each side in the canine regions of the mandible.

The effect of different mandibular dentures on antagonistic maxillary ridge.

Purpose: Is to evaluate the antagonistic, maxillary ridge resorption for different prosthetic modalities mainly mucosa-supported mandibular complete overdentures, combined mucosa implant-supported mandibular complete overdenture, and lower conventional complete dentures.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen completely edentulous patients were divided into 3 groups; 5 patients each. Group I patients received maxillary conventional denture and mandibular overdentures retained by magnet attachment on 2 implants (mainly mucosa-supported overdenture).

Clinical and radiographic evaluation of implant-retained mandibular overdentures with immediate loading.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare immediate-loaded implant-retained mandibular overdentures and delayed-loaded implant-retained mandibular overdentures.

Materials: Ten completely edentulous male patients received 40 dental implants. Patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups, 5 patients each.

Comparison between mainly mucosa-supported and combined mucosa-implant-supported mandibular overdentures.

The purpose of this study is to compare mainly mucosa-supported and combined mucosa-implant-supported complete mandibular overdentures. Ten completely edentulous patients received 20 press-fit dental implants at the canine regions of the mandible. Each patient received 2 implants, which were left submerged and unloaded for 4 months.
