Effect of implant position on clinical and radiographic outcomes of locator-retained mandibular overdentures: A 1-year prospective study

Journal of Prosthodontics Jun 15, 2018

ELsyad MA, et al. - The influence of implant position on clinical and radiographic outcomes of Locator-retained mandibular overdentures was assessed. For the purpose of this investigation, 15 edentulous members with compromised bone at canine regions of the mandible were given 2 implants in the premolar areas. Researchers evaluated clinical and radiographic outcomes after denture delivery (T0), 6 months (T6), and 12 months (T12) later. They reported that canine position for implants retaining mandibular overdentures with Locator attachments was favored over the first premolar position, as it was linked with decreased peri-implant pocket depth and marginal bone loss after 1 year.
