Summary

This study was conducted to clinically and radiographically evaluate locator RTx attachments for two implant-supported mandibular overdenture using two loading protocols

Detailed description

Thirty edentulous patients received two implants in the interformaninal region in the canine area . According to the loading protocol used for attaching mandibular overdenture, patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group I (control): patients who would be delivered mandibular implant overdenture retained by two RTx locator attachments using conventional loading protocol. Group II (study): patients who would be delivered mandibular overdenture retained by two RTx locator attachments using early loading protocol. Peri-implant tissue health \[Plaque (PL) and (GI) gingival scores, pocket depth (PD), and crestal bone loss (CBL)\] were evaluated immediately after denture insertion (T0), 6 (T6), and 12 (T12) months after insertion.

Conditions

• Vertical Alveolar Bone Loss
