Abstract

Comparison of retention and marginal bone loss of ball, bar and locator attachment systems for implant retained over dentures it is of interest. Hence, related data were collected from 75 patients. Retention was highest for the bar system, while the locator and ball systems exhibited moderate and significant reductions. The bar attachment system outperformed ball and locator systems in retention, marginal bone preservation and patient satisfaction, making it the most effective option for implant-retained over dentures.

Keywords
