Different attachment system retaining overdenture |
Official scientific title |
Retention of stud attachment versus bar clip attachment retaining mandibular overdenture |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
The aim of this study is to compare between 2 attachment systems regarding patient satisfaction, retention and maintenance, Studies that compared between the two retention concepts, namely the splinted (bar clip attachment) and non-splinted (stud attachment), showed that splinted was better in retention however, the use of stud has many advantages over splinted. While the splinted required almost complete parallelism between the implants, the stud on the other hand does not require that much of parallelism. Also, fabrication of implant supported prosthesis retained by bar attachment is very technique sensitive, while implant supported prosthesis retained by stud attachment is simpler and do not require complicated lab procedure also Removable prosthesis supported by a bar are more challenging to fabricate and repair than removable prosthesis supported by individual stud attachments. Problems usually associated with bar attachment is over growth of tissues beneath the bar causing gingival inflammation, which cause patient dissatisfaction.
Therefore this study is to observe after 12 month loss of retention, complains and maintenance in stud attachment compared to bar clip attachment will provide equal patient satisfaction.
