Masseter muscle activity of conventional denture, fixed prosthesis, and milled bar overdenture used for All-on-4 implant rehabilitation: A within-subject study.

Purpose: to examine the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masseter muscles in patients with conventional dentures and compare it to EMG activity of fixed prosthesis, and milled bar overdentures used to rehabilitate mandibular atrophied ridges according to the All-on-4 concept.

Methods: Eighteen edentulous subjects with atrophied mandibles received complete dentures (CD, control). After 3 months, four implants were installed between the mental foramina according to the "All-on-4" protocol and loaded immediately.

Milled Bar with PEEK and Metal Housings for Inclined Implants Supporting Mandibular Overdentures: 1-Year Clinical, Prosthetic, and Patient-Based Outcomes.

Purpose: This investigation aimed to evaluate clinical, prosthetic, and patient-based outcomes of a milled bar with polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and metal housings for inclined implants supporting mandibular overdentures.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen edentulous participants received four implants in the interforaminal area of the mandible (two vertically and two distally inclined), and implants were connected with milled bars. Overdentures were attached to the bars with PEEK female housing (test group).

Satisfaction and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life of Different Attachments Used for Implant-Retained Overdentures in Subjects with Resorbed Mandibles: A Crossover Trial.

Purpose: The aim of this crossover study was to evaluate patient satisfaction and oral health related-quality of life (OHRQoL) with different connectors used for implant-retained overdentures in subjects with resorbed mandibles.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen edentulous patients with atrophied mandibular bone received traditional maxillary and mandibular dentures (control). After 3 months, two implants were inserted in the canine regions.
