Abstract:Purpose: This invitro study evaluates peri-implant strains with ball and telescopic attachments for implant supported maxillary overdentures.
Materials and methods:A model represent an edentulous maxillary ridge with 4 implants installed at both canine and second premolar areas was constructed. Experimental maxillary overdentures were fabricated and attached to the implants with rigid telescopic (TA, n=5), and ball (BA, n=5) attachments. Two strain gauges were bonded to the acrylic resin at buccal and palatal … Show more
