Summary: The study aimed to compare the electromyographic activity of masseter muscles in patients with conventional dentures, fixed prostheses, and milled bar overdentures for mandibular atrophy rehabilitation according to the All-on-4 concept. Results showed that both fixed prostheses and milled bar overdentures significantly improved muscle activity and chewing efficiency compared to conventional dentures. There was no significant difference in outcomes between fixed prostheses and milled bar overdentures, indicating their comparable effectiveness in improving masticatory function.

Summary: This study evaluated the chewing efficiency and maximum bite force of conventional dentures, fixed prostheses, and milled bar overdentures used for All-on-4 implant rehabilitation of atrophied mandibular ridges. The results showed that both fixed prostheses and milled bar overdentures improved masticatory efficiency and maximum bite forces compared to conventional dentures, with milled bar overdentures showing the highest chewing efficiency.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different fabrication techniques and materials on implant-supported mandibular overdentures with a Hader bar attachment. The use of converting adapters on implants was found to decrease force transmission and improve stress distribution. The type of material used for bar fabrication did not significantly influence stress values.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the implant prosthesis and patient-reported outcomes of complete dentures retained by four implant-supported attachments in the maxilla over a 5-year period. Results showed a prosthesis survival rate of 85.2% and an implant survival rate of 80.6%. Prosthodontic success rate decreased over time and patient satisfaction improved significantly after implant-supported retention.

Summary: This crossover clinical study aimed to evaluate and compare patient satisfaction and masticatory performance of mandibular two implant overdentures with zirconia bar and cobalt chromium bar attachments. The results showed that patient satisfaction with zirconia bar was significantly higher than with Co-Cr bar in terms of appearance, time, hygiene, recommend procedures, and overall experience.

Summary: This study focused on the impact of full-arch implant restorations on oral health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction, finding that patients rehabilitated based on the all-on-four concept had high OHRQoL and satisfaction levels. However, the current evidence is limited by the quality of available studies, highlighting the need for long-term randomized studies to establish the true effectiveness of this surgical-prosthetic approach.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of implant-supported prosthesis and removable prosthesis on osseoperception ability, neural activity, and stereognostic ability in completely edentulous patients. The results showed that patients with implant-supported prostheses exhibited more activation in the primary motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, and other brain regions, compared to patients with removable prostheses. In terms of stereognostic ability, the implant-supported prosthesis group and the upper complete denture opposing lower implant-retained overdenture group had more correct responses.

Summary: This prospective study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using a single short implant to retain a single-implant mandibular overdenture in participants with severely atrophic edentulous mandibles. The results showed favorable outcomes of a single-implant mandibular overdenture retained by a short implant after 1 year.

Summary: This study compared the influence of two different angulated abutment designs on patient satisfaction, oral health-related quality of life, and prosthetic aspects of implant-supported maxillary overdentures. The results showed that angled locator attachments were associated with higher patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life compared to angled ball attachments, but they also required more postinsertion prosthodontic maintenance.

Summary: This study compared the 3- and 5-year survival and failure rates of tooth-supported resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) and implant-supported single crowns (ISSCs). The results showed that ISSCs had lower complication and failure rates compared to RBFDPs, and both treatment options significantly improved the oral health quality of life for patients.

Summary: This study compared the satisfaction and impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of edentulous patients treated with different types of dentures. The results showed that mandibular overdentures significantly improved OHRQoL and satisfaction. However, increasing the anteroposterior spread did not provide additional benefits in this regard.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of fixed and removable implant-supported prostheses for atrophied distal extension maxillary ridges. The results showed that fixed restorations supported with implants had better implant stability and reduced bone loss, while implant-assisted removable partial dentures performed better in terms of peri-implant soft tissue health and patient satisfaction with surgery.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and patient-centered outcomes of different attachments for immediately loaded implants supporting mandibular overdentures. The findings suggest that using stress-free bar attachments can preserve marginal bone better, while resilient stud attachments can improve patient satisfaction with retention, cleaning, and comfort.

Summary: The study investigated retention and stability characteristics of soft-liner and clip attachments used for bar/implant-assisted mandibular overdentures. It found that the Hader bar with clips and cantilever extensions achieved the highest retention and stability forces after wear simulation, while bars without cantilevers and clips showed the lowest forces.

Summary: This study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of using a full-arch PEEK framework with the All-on-Four concept for mandibular edentulous arches. The results show significant differences in plaque, gingival, and bleeding scores, while insignificant differences were found in probing depth. Additionally, significant differences were observed in the anterior ridge area between the two anterior implants in terms of ridge base relation.
