Peri-implant tissue health and patient satisfaction of vertical versus inclined posterior implants used to support overdentures with bar attachments. A one-year randomized trial.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate peri-implant tissue health and patient satisfaction of vertical and inclined posterior implants for mandibular bar overdentures.

Materials And Methods: Thirty edentulous participants received four implants in the interforaminal area of the mandible. The patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups; (1) vertical group (control): all implants were inserted vertically parallel to each other.

Metal-Ceramic and Polyether Ether Ketone-Composite Maxillary Fixed Prosthesis Supported by Four Implants and Opposed by Removable Distal Extension Partial Dentures: A Comparative Study of Clinical and Prosthetic Outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate clinical and prosthetic outcomes of metal-ceramic and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) fixed prostheses supported by four maxillary implants and opposed by distal extension removable partial dentures.

Materials And Methods: Thirty participants with edentulous maxillary and distal extension mandibular ridges received four implants according to the All-on-4 treatment concept. The implants were immediately loaded by fixed acrylic prostheses.
