| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate two different bar designs for four implant-retained complete mandibular overdentures regarding peri-implant marginal bone loss. Methods: Twenty completely edentulous patients were selected for this study. Each patient received 4 implants in the mandibular canine and 1st molar areas and bar attachments. According to the bar design, all patients were classified into two equal groups: quadrilateral bar design (group I) and bilateral linear bar design (group II). Peri-implant marginal bone loss was evaluated immediately T0 and after 2 years T2 of insertion using a digital periapical X-ray. Results: at T0: there was a statistically insignificant difference between groups I&II, for group I the mean ±SD (0.13± 0.06), for group II the mean± SD (0.11± 0.07), and P-value 0.465. For posterior implants, there was a statistically insignificant difference between groups I&II, in group I the mean± SD (0.08± 0.08) in group II the mean± SD (0.09 ± 0.07), and P-value 0.808. At T2, for anterior implants, there was a statistically significant difference between groups I & II, in group I the mean± SD was (1.37± 0.13), and in group II the mean ± SD (1.24±0.14) and P-value was 0.02. For posterior implants, there was a statistically significant difference between groups I &II, in group I the mean± SD (1.64 ±0.14), and in group II the mean± SD (1.33± 0.16), and P-value 0.001. Conclusion: The bilateral linear distribution bar design is considered a better treatment option compared to the quadrilateral distribution regarding peri-implant marginal bone loss. | ||
