Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the medium-term survival of Dalbo-Rotex retention elements in dental prosthetics, exploring risks for complications and economic aspects.
- - Out of 76 Dalbo-Rotex elements assessed in 45 patients, the survival rate was 84.2%, but complications occurred in over 42% of cases, leading to 5-year survival and success rates of 62.4% and 35.6%, respectively.
- - Patients reported high satisfaction with prosthesis retention, and regular dental visits significantly improved oral health compared to less frequent check-ups, making Dalbo-Rotex a cost-effective retention option.

Purpose: To investigate the long-term (up to 20 years) outcomes of customized post copings (PC) and to evaluate potential factors influencing the risk for complications.
Materials And Methods: Patients treated with PC-retained overdenture prostheses (OD) in a university setting were selected. Data collected included dental and periodontal parameters, periapical radiographs, and assessment of the OD design.
