Comparative Evaluation Of Two Different Castable Bar Attachments In Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture Cases, Fardos N. Rizk
Comparative Evaluation Of Two Different Castable Bar Attachments In Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture Cases, Fardos N. Rizk
Dentistry
Objective: This research was carried to evaluate which solitary attachment; OT Cap Ball attachment or OT Cap Equator Profile attachment mounted on a bar splinting two implants retaining mandibular overdenture is more favorable regarding crestal bone height and bone density changes surrounding the implants using cone beam computed tomography. 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 overdenture. Four months following the surgery patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group-I received two OT Cap Ball attachments mounted on a bar …
Radiographic Evaluation Of Marginal Bone Levels Around Platform-Switched Implants And Non-Platform-Switched Implants Immediately Loaded To Support Mandibular Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Eatmad Elrekaby
Radiographic Evaluation Of Marginal Bone Levels Around Platform-Switched Implants And Non-Platform-Switched Implants Immediately Loaded To Support Mandibular Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Eatmad Elrekaby
Dentistry
Objective: This clinical study was conducted to assess the marginal bone level around two different types of implant abutment junctions which are the platform-switched connection and non-platform- switched connection used in cases of implants supporting mandibular overdentures following the immediate loading protocol. Materials and Methods: Twelve completely edentulous male patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group I: Each patient received two Legacy I Implants designed with internal bevel having 3.5mm implant platform diameter to which 3.5mm neck diameter healing collars were threaded creating a matching or non-platform switching mechanism at the implant abutment junction. Group II: Each patient …
