Periodontal health status of abutment teeth supporting two different types of overdentures

ABSTRACT

Eighteen overdenture patients were included in this study. The patients were equally divided into two main groups. Group I received m and ibular conventional overdentures without any kind of attachments, while group II received m and ibular overdentures attached to the retained abutments with zest anchor connector. Periodontal health status of the abutments was evaluated using st and ardized periodontal indices. Statistical comparisons of the data after eight months recall revealed better scores in all the parameters in group I over group II patients
