Abstract:
Background: To evaluate retention and patient satisfaction with bar-clip, ball and socket and kerator attachments in mandibular implant overdenture treatment.
Materials and Methods: A total of 15 subjects were enrolled. Complete evaluation was done. Edentulous subjects received two implants in the inter-foramina region of the mandible. They were divided into 3 groups with 5 subjects in each group. The results were analysed using SPSS software.
Results: A total of 15 subjects were enrolled. At the end of six months, the retention force was higher in Group 3 (Kerator attachment) as compared to Group 1 (ball and socket attachment) and Group 2.
Conclusion: Group 3 (kerator attachment) exhibit higher retentive capacities than Group 1 and Group 2.
