Purpose: To investigate retention and stability characteristics of soft-liner and clip attachments used for bar/implant-assisted mandibular overdentures.
Materials And Methods: Two implants were placed in an edentulous mandibular model. According to the type of bar, presence of cantilevers, and type of attachments, eight groups were tested: (1) Dolder bar with cantilevers and three titanium clips (DCC), (2) Dolder bar with cantilevers and resilient liner attachments (DLC), (3) Dolder bar without cantilevers and one titanium clip (DCWC), (4) Dolder bar without cantilevers and resilient liner attachments (DLWC), (5) Hader bar with cantilevers and three plastic clips (HCC), (6) Hader bar with cantilevers and resilient liner attachments (HLC), (7) Hader bar without cantilevers and one plastic clip (HCWC), and (8) Hader bar without cantilever and resilient liner (HLWC).
Purpose: This study aimed to examine clinical and patient-centered outcomes of resilient stud and stress-free bar attachments used for immediately loaded implants supporting mandibular overdentures.
Materials And Methods: Thirty edentulous patients with sufficient bone mesial and distal to the mental foramen received new dentures. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of conventional denture, fixed prosthesis and milled bar overdenture for All-on-4 implant rehabilitation.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen completely edentulous patients with ill-fitted mandibular dentures received new mandibular dentures (CDs). After 3 months, 4 implants were installed according to the "All-on-4 concept" and immediately loaded with mandibular dentures.
