Abstract
Single implant mandibular overdenture had been reported to achieve satisfactory
patient centered results. Two groups (Ball and CM loc attachments) were chosen to
support the over-denture.
40 completely edentulous patients were recruited for submerged healing
protocol. Implants were installed based on CBCT planning and after patients‟
approval confirmed by a written consent. Implants left three months to
osseointegrate , after which randomization was done prior to attachment pick up to
select from either BALL or CM LOC attachments
Soft tissue health was assessed through four domains. Gingival inflammation and
plaque accumulation were more observed around and over ball respectively.
expressing relatively worse results than that of CMLOC attachment.
Marginal bone loss aroun implants after the one year followup period showed no
significant difference between them and that the bone loss for each goup fell within
the accepted range for endosseal dental implants.
