Purpose: To compare the stress distributions of fixed bridge, cement-retained telescopic prostheses and extracoronal precision attachment (CEKA attachment) when connect the implants to the natural teeth, in order to find a more suitable design for it.

Methods: 3-D finite element models of tooth-implant partial fixed dentures were constructed by using the ANSYS software. The partial fixed denture was supported by the second premolar and an implant (substitute the second molar). A total load of 200N was distributed to the three units of the denture in vertical and lateral (45 degree) directions.

Results: Both of the cement-retained telescopic and the CEKA attachment made the stress of the osseous tissues surrounding the implant and the tooth declined obviously under the loads of the two directions. The stress of the cement-retained telescopic was lower under vertical load,the stress of Ceka attachment was lower under lateral load while it caused the stress of the natural tooth increasing slightly. The stress under the lateral load was higher than that under the vertical load.

Conclusion: Both of the cement-retained telescopic and the CEKA attachment can improve the stress distribution of tooth-implant support denture. The CEKA attachment is better under lateral loads.

This paper aims to compare, in vitro, the biomechanical properties of an overdenture retained by two bar-retained implants and an overdenture retained by two bar-retained implants with ball attachments. An edentulous mandible model was prepared for the study based on the FRASACO mold with two implants. In the first system, the "rider" type (PRECI-HORIX, CEKA) retention structure and the complete mandibular denture with the matrix were made.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the retentive forces of five different prosthetic attachment designs on mandibular overdentures retained by two or three implants.

Materials And Methods: Two photoelastic acrylic resin models of an edentulous mandible were cast. In one model, three implants were aligned parallel to each other and oriented perpendicular to the occlusal plane.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical and prosthetic care and aftercare of maxillary overdentures supported by six endosseous implants and a milled bar mesostructure with Ceka attachments.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-nine consecutive patients with an edentulous maxilla who reported problems wearing a conventional maxillary denture were treated with an overdenture supported by six endosseous implants and a milled bar mesostructure (solid bar with position Ceka attachments). Prosthetic and surgical care and aftercare were scored from the first visit until 10 years after the augmentation of the maxilla.
