Objective:This study investigated the strain surround implants and the pressure distribution of the alveolar ridge related to implant overdentures with stress-breaking ball (SBB) attachments.Methods:Simulation models of edentulous mandibles were embedded with 1 and 2 implants to simulate a single implant-retained overdenture (S-IOD) and a two-implant-retained overdenture (T-IOD), respectively. The implants were connected to the denture base with the following conditions: complete separation between the denture base and implant with cover screws as a conventional complete denture (CD), 3 types of settlements with an SBB attachment between them, and a conventional ball attachment (BALL). Strain surround the implant, pressure at 5 different soft tissue areas, and displacement of the denture base were measured with loading up to 50 N.Results:In S-IOD and T-IOD, the strain of each SBB attachment was less than the strain shown by the BALL. The pressure at each region of the SBB attachment was less than the pressure shown with the CD and BALL.Conclusions:SBB attachments prevented strain surround the implants in loading and provided optimal stress distribution.Complete denture (CD) rehabilitation for mandibular edentulous patients has long been applied, even though such treatment is precarious. 1, 2 Complete mandibular dentures have widely documented problems, including lack of stability and retention, 3 immoderate anomalous anatomy (ie, mandibular torus), neuromuscular disorders, a pronounced gag reflex, and severe residual ridge resorption. 4 During the past several decades, osseointegrated implant-supported prostheses have become a popular prosthodontics treatment option for the completely edentulous patient. 5–7 Although this therapy is preferred because of comfort and functionality, it requires economic consideration and special care regarding surgical and prosthetic management. However, an implant-retained or implant-supported overdenture (IOD) may be less critical regarding economics and surgical and prosthetic management. 8, 9 In addition, the IOD has shown excellent progress for a long period, 3, 10, 11 suitable patient satisfaction, 12 and appropriate masticatory function. 13 Consensus reports by McGill 14 and York 15 declared that an IOD using 2 implants was recommended as the first treatment option for mandibular edentulous patients. Furthermore, several clinicians 16–19 suggested that IODs using single implants might be used for the rehabilitation of perfectly mandibular edentulous patients.
