Abstract EN
The aim of the present study was to evaluate both ZAAG and OT REVERSE / 3 attachments retaining complete mandibular overdentures supported by two Legacy implants regarding both periimplant bone and residual ridge resorpotion and maintenance complications in patients with limited interarch space during a 2 year follow- up period.
The two implants were placed in the canine region.
Mandibular overdentures were provided for 12 edentulous male patients.
Subjects were divided equally into ZAAG and OT REVERSE / 3 groups.
Once patients were comfortable, they were placed on a one week, 6, 12 and 24 months follow -up periods.
Marginal periimplant bone levels and distal residual ridge height were monitored on intraoral radiographs using long cone paralleling technique.
Frequency of maintenance complications were also detected during the follow-up periods.
A significant decrease in periimplant bone loss was recorded in favor to the OT REVERSE / 3 group.
However a significant decrease in vertical residual bone loss was recorded in favor to the ZAAG group.
It could be concluded that although mandibular implant–retained overdentures with OT REVERSE /3 attachments are an acceptable treatment option for edentulous patients with limited interarch space, routine maintenance is required to ensure successful long - term outcomes.
