Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical success rate and long-term prognosis of overdentures retained by 2 implants in the mandible using 2 single ball attachment systems. Material and Methods: A prospective 8 years longitudinal study was carried out for evaluating clinical and radiographic findings in a series of 15 patients ( 8 male and 7 female) who had received a total of 30 implants. The success and failure cases were evaluated and studied. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics Results: All the implants except one fulfilled Albrektsson et al criteria for success. The mean marginal bone loss recorded over 8 years shows, with decrease in marginal bone levels up to 8 years. The maximum bone loss recorded was 4.2 mm. The most frequent prosthetic complication was O ring replacement because of loss of retentiveness. Conclusions: The study reaffirmed the fact that implant overdenture is a successful treatment option in edentulous patients.
