Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients using conventional complete dentures (CD), single median dental implant retained over dentures (SIMOD) with over dentures retained by two dental implants (TIMOD).
Methods: Thirty completely edentulous patients (fifteen each arm) presented to the Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya were randomly selected for the SIMOD or TIMOD groups. Patients were initially provided with CD.

The decision to rehabilitate insufficient alveolar bone height with short implants is considered an effective treatment. Complicated surgical procedures such as ridge augmentation, vestibuloplasty, and sinus lifting are usually accompanied by high risks such as membrane injury, hemorrhage, nerve affection, and increased time needed for implant treatment with unpredictable healing time. Short dental implants allow for faster treatment and decrease the need for complicated surgeries that are usually associated with standard dental implants, as in all four and all six concepts.

Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the effectiveness of conventional complete dentures versus implant-assisted maxillary prostheses for patients with edentulous maxillae and finds no clear superiority in satisfaction or quality of life.
- Out of 1119 articles screened, only six studies met the inclusion criteria, highlighting a lack of adequate studies comparing new versions of both prosthetic types.
- The research concludes that neither option is definitively better, indicating a need for more rigorous clinical studies to better assess their impacts on patient satisfaction and quality of life.
O-Ring and Bar-Clip: A Comparative Analysis of Retention in Overdenture Prostheses - A Systematic Review.

Ribeirão Preto Dental School, University of São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, Brazil.
Introduction: Mandibular implant-supported overdentures (IODs) show higher retention than conventional complete dentures. However, there is no consensus on the best attachment to ensure resistance to vertical displacement. The most used are o-ring and bar-clip.

Clinical indications for the Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid) mini-implants (MDIs) in subjects with narrow ridges are still under review. The aim was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area strains dependent on the MDI number, splinting status, loading force, and loading position. Six models were digitally designed and printed.
