Objective: To evaluate and compare both anterior and posterior area indices of two different bar attachments bar-locator & bar-clip that are used to retain implant mandibular overdentures. Materials and methods: sixteen completely edentulous participants were eligible (mean age is 50 years old). Every participant received new maxillary and mandibular conventional dentures. After 3 months of adaptation, 2- dental implants were inserted in mandibular canine regions. All participants were randomly divided into 2- equal groups; eight patients received bar-locator attachment (group I) and eight patients received bar-clip attachment (group II). Anterior area index (AAI) and posterior area index (PAI) was performed …

Aim: This study aimed to compare and calibrate the clinical retention of direct versus indirect pick of locator attachment retentive caps used to retain mandibular overdentures connected to two implants installed in the canine regions. Material and Methods: Ten patients received two implants in the canine areas of the mandible. According to the pick-up technique of the retentive caps and the color of the retentive inserts of locator attachments; the mandibular overdentures were classified into four groups as follows: Group I: Overdentures with locator retentive caps and blue inserts were picked up by indirect method. Group II: Overdentures with locator …
