A novel device for measuring the clinical retentive forces of mandibular implant overdentures is described. The device addresses several drawbacks of the conventionally used methods regarding the application of pure vertical dislodging forces perpendicular to the occlusal plane and the elimination of nonaxial dislodging forces and tipping or rotation of overdentures during the measurements. Moreover, the technique allows for the standardization of the occlusal plane and points of load application.
