Effect Of Two Different Implant Structures On Stresses Induced Within The Surrounding Bone Using Three Dimensional Finite Element Analysis, Fardos N. Rizk
Dentistry
objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the stresses induced within the bone surrounding the Trabecular Metal Dental Implant (Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) in comparison to the stresses induced within the bone surrounding its predicate Tapered Screw Vent Implant (Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) using three dimensional finite element analysis. materials and methds: The current finite element analysis simulated a clinical situation where an edentulous mandible was restored with an entirely implant supported cantilever bar overdenture retained by five implants placed parallel to each other in the interforaminal region opposed by a complete denture. Two …
Comparative Study Of Ot Equator Profile Attachment Versus Gps Attachment In Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture Cases, Fardos N. Rizk
Comparative Study Of Ot Equator Profile Attachment Versus Gps Attachment In Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture Cases, Fardos N. Rizk
Dentistry
Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate whether OT Equator Profi le attachment or GPS attachment is less destructive to crestal bone around implants and to bone in distal aspect of the ridge in implant retained mandibular overdenture cases. Materials and Methods: Following two stage surgical protocol twelve completely edentulous patients received two implants placed bilaterally in the canine region (24 implants) to retain mandibular overdentures. Four months following the surgery patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group-I received OT Equator Profi le attachment while Group-II received GPS attachment upon which mandibular overdentures were retained. Once patients …
