| Abstract | ||||
| Aim :An in vitro study was conducted to compare the effects of various denture cleansers solution on the retention of attachment systems in both conventional and digital implant- retained overdentures. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted according to the cleansing solution used, where divided equally into five groups: Group A: the overdenture including retentive elements were cleaned by soaked in Corega tabs Group B: soaked in chlorhexidine. Group C: soaked in Fittydent solution. Group D: soaked in Sodium hypochlorite solution. Group E: soaked in EDTA cleansing solution. Each group were placed into cleanser put in glass cup immersed in the solution during the entire soaking period according to the manufacturers’ instructions for the time equivalent of 24 hrs., one month and six months. Acrylic blocks were held on a universal testing machine for a pull-out test to record the dislodgement force. Measurements were conducted after 1 months (T1) and 6 months (T2). Results: The study revealed that, there were significant statistical differences between the different manufacturers regarding the retention forces of the attachment’s retentive force (Before soaking), (After 24hrs), (After 1month) and (After 6 months) where (p<0.001) Except in Corega group ,there is no statistical difference . For the cleaning solution groups, different significant statistical results between five group at different time interval follow up. Where (p<0.001). Conclusion: Selecting denture cleaners that necessitate minimal soaking time is vital for both conventional and CAD/CAM-based implant-retained overdentures with attachments, as it aids in extending the lifespan of the components. | ||||
