Official Title: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Study Comparing Patient-Reported Outcomes and Complications for Mandibular Implant Overdentures Retained by Different Splinted Attachment Systems
Brief Summary:
This exploratory pilot randomized clinical study enrolled ten completely edentulous participants who experienced retention and stability problems with conventional mandibular complete dentures.Participants were randomly allocated to receive mandibular implant-supported overdentures retained by either a bar-locator attachment system (n = 5) or a bar-ball attachment system (n = 5).Denture satisfaction was assessed using the McGill Denture Satisfaction Questionnaire
