Objective: To evaluate the masticatory efficiency of patients rehabilitated with conventional dentures (CDs) or implant-retained mandibular overdentures. Background: Despite the evident benefits of implants on mastication ...

Purpose: The present randomized clinical trial compared the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), peri-implant parameters, mandible movements, and maxillary complete denture movement during chewing between wearers ...

The aim of this study was to compare the stress distribution induced by posterior functional loads on conventional complete dentures and implant-retained overdentures with different attachment systems using a two-dimentional ...

Objetivo: O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar o padrão de tensão produzido por overdentures implanto-retidas com 3 diferentes sistemas de retenção e prótese fixa tipo protocolo de Branemark, através do método da ...

Objective: to the purpose of this study was to compare the stress distribution in the peri-implant hard tissue on different attachment systems for mandibular or maxillary implant-retained overdentures. Material and methods: ...

Statement of problem: How the masticatory function of complete denture wearers is influenced by the positioning and occlusion of posterior teeth or by the presence of a single mandibular implant is unclear. Purpose: The ...

Conventional complete denture even though well confectioned, could present deficiencies in the retention, stability and support, in addition uncomfortable and retention of food below it. The overdentures have been considered ...
