Mandibular two‐implant telescopic overdentures

Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2004
Abstract: To stabilize mandibular overdentures in edentulous patients, various connector types which can be attached to between two and four implants placed in the anterior mandible are possible. Treatment using non‐rigid telescopic connectors on two interforaminal implants for overdenture stabilization began in 1989. The objective of this study is to

Influence of abutment height on strain in a mandibular overdenture

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2006
summary  The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of coping heights on the strain around the abutment teeth and at the middle part of mandibular overdentures, using strain gauges. A mandibular edentulous model with a silicone artificial mucosa of thickness 2 mm was made.

Influence of attachment wear on retention of mandibular overdenture

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2006
summary  The aims of this study were: (i) to evaluate and compare retention of two‐teeth (implant) supported mandibular overdenture with either stud or magnetic attachments during linear (axial) and rotational (paraxial) dislodgements; (ii) to compare retentive properties before and after wear simulation.

Rotational movements of mandibular two‐implant overdentures

Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2009
AbstractObjectives: Clinicians have reported that their patients complain that their mandibular two‐implant overdentures (IOD) rotate. Therefore, we studied the frequency and severity of rotation of IODs with two‐ball attachments, how rotation may influence perceived satisfaction ratings of chewing ability, and the factors that are involved in the ...

Metal reinforcement for implant-supported mandibular overdentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2000
Complete and implant-supported mandibular overdenture bases can be a problem because they are especially prone to fracture. Metal reinforcement of the denture base can substantially reduce the incidence of fracture. This article describes 2 methods of reinforcing mandibular overdentures.

Mandibular implant overdenture treatment: Consensus and controversy

Journal of Prosthodontics, 2000
A literature review of implant overdenture treatment for the edentulous mandible is presented. The report focuses on the knowledge base for this treatment modality, in an effort to distinguish between areas that are well characterized and enjoy a higher level of consensus among practitioners as compared with those that are more controversial and not ...

Mandibular implant-retained overdentures: A literature review

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2001
The implant-retained overdenture for the mandible has been shown to be a highly successful prosthetic treatment similar to the fixed implant denture. However, controversy persists as to its design and indications. Few literature reviews have been published on the topic.

Implant-retained mandibular overdentures with ITI implants.

Clinical oral implants research, 2002
This prospective study has been designed to compare the results of immediate and delayed loading of implant-retained mandibular overdentures after a 2-year follow-up. Twenty patients have been randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 patients (test group) received four ITI implants in the intraforaminal area of the mandible.

Prefabricated Stud Attachments for Mandibular Overdenture

Indian Journal of Contemporary Dentistry, 2015
Preventive Prosthodontics emphasises the importance of procedures that can delay or eliminate future prosthodontic problems. An overdenture is one such logical method that offers several advantages both from biological as well as functional stand point in preventive prosthodontics.

Comminution of Food with Mandibular Implant-retained Overdentures

Journal of Dental Research, 1994
When complete-denture wearers are treated with from four to six implants and mandibular implant-borne prostheses, masticatory performance improves. No significant improvement has been observed with two implants and implant-mucosa-borne overdentures, suggesting that the masticatory performance of edentulous subjects depends on the degree of support for ...
