During chewing, food is reduced in size, while saliva moistens the food and binds the
masticated food into a bolus that can be easily swallowed. Characteristics of the oral system …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine systematically the data published on the
efficacy of mandibular implant‐retained overdentures from the patient's perspective. Material …

Maximum bite force is a useful indicator of the functional state of the masticatory system and
the loading of the teeth, and its recordings can be performed in a relatively simple way in the …

Objectives. To assess the repeatability of maximal bite force estimates as obtained by
submaximal electromyographic-force relationships performed simultaneously and …

The type of attachment that is used in implant-supported mandibular overdentures may
influence the retention and stability of the prosthesis and, thus, masticatory function. In this …

It could be hypothesised that attachments, which provide more retention against vertical and
horizontal dislodgement, will be associated with more favourable parameters of oral …

Patients with a severely resorbed edentulous mandible often suffer from problems with the
lower denture. These problems include: insufficient retention of the lower denture …

Maximum voluntary bite force has often been studied as an indicator of the functional state of
the masticatory system. Bilateral, as well as unilateral, methods have been used to …

Purpose The purposes of this study were to:(1) determine patient satisfaction with implant-
supported mandibular overdentures using magnet, bar-clip, and ball-socket attachments; …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the published literature on in vitro articles
investigating the retentive force or wear features of different attachment systems, specifically …
