influence of inclined implants and attachments on the retention and longevity of implant-retained overdentures: an in vitro study

ABSTRACT

Statement of Problem: Several dilemmas have been reported with regard to the retention and longevity of implant-retained overdentures. A few studies have investigated the influence of implant and attachment inclination on the path of insertion and withdrawal of the prosthesis and on the retention and longevity of the overdenture. However, no study has been reported with regard to the influence of labio-lingual inclination on the aforementioned indices
