  • Title: Mandibular implant-supported overdenture: an in vitro comparison of ball, bar, and magnetic attachments.
    Author: Manju V, Sreelal T.
    Journal: J Oral Implantol; 2013 Jun; 39(3):302-7. PubMed ID: 22891704.
    Abstract:
    In an implant-supported overdenture, the optimal stress distribution on the implants and least denture displacement is desirable. This study compares the load transfer characteristics to the implant and the movement of overdenture among 3 different types of attachments (ball-ring, bar-clip, and magnetic). Stress on the implant surface was measured using the strain-gauge technique and denture displacement by dial gauge. The ball/O-ring produces the optimal stress on the implant body and promotes denture stability.
