Effect of Interimplant Distance and Cyclic Loading on the Retention of Overdenture Attachments

“…11, 29 Marin et al 11 reported that in two implant overdenture cases with more than 22 mm interimplant distance, the deactivation of matrices was more common than the distance <22 mm. These findings are partially in compliance with the result of the present study, as 3i locator attachments 29 mm apart lose their retention more rapidly than other groups.…”

“…These findings are partially in compliance with the result of the present study, as 3i locator attachments 29 mm apart lose their retention more rapidly than other groups. In the study conducted by Geckili et al, 29 the influence of interimplant distance on oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) of patients using two implant overdentures were analyzed. They failed to find a positive relationship between OHIP-14 total and interimplant distance.…”

Five‐year study of mandibular overdentures on stud abutments: Clinical outcome, patient satisfaction and prosthetic maintenance—Influence of bone resorption and implant position

“…According to our knowledge, few clinical studies already analysed the relation between implant position and prosthetic maintenance. Their focus was mainly on in vitro research and yielded inconsistent results (Alfadda et al, 2017;Aroso et al, 2016;Bonnet et al, 2008;ELsyad et al, 2018;Geckili et al, 2015;Hong et al, 2012;Kobayashi et al, 2014;Kurtulus & Gurbulak, 2018;Scherer et al, 2014;Srinivasan et al, 2016;Stephens et al, 2014;Sultana et al, 2017). The multidirectional chewing forces and the oral environment complicate the comparison between in vitro and clinical research.…”

“…Clinical research associated a higher inter-implant distance with a better OHRQoL score (Geckili et al, 2015). On the other hand, other studies found no effect of the inter-implant distance on both the quality of the dentures and the patient satisfaction (Alfadda, Al Amri, Al-Ohali, Al-Hakami, & Al-Madhi, 2017).…”

“…Although most clinical studies followed this approach, in vitro research results are inconclusive whether the second premolar or the lateral incisors position is biomechanically the best locus for dental implants in an overdenture solution (Alvarez‐Arenal et al, ; Hong et al, ; Scherer, McGlumphy, Seghi, & Campagni, ). Clinical research associated a higher inter‐implant distance with a better OHRQoL score (Geckili et al, ). On the other hand, other studies found no effect of the inter‐implant distance on both the quality of the dentures and the patient satisfaction (Alfadda, Al Amri, Al‐Ohali, Al‐Hakami, & Al‐Madhi, ).…”
