Abstract This study was conducted to compare clinically and radiographically between two different implant lengths (10mm & 12mm) for implant assisted immediately loaded complete mandibular overdenture. This complete overdenture was retained by two intraforaminal dental implant with two O- ring attachment. The clinical evaluation was regarded to ( patient satisfaction, gingival recession, pocket depth, stability test by osstell ISQ) and radiographic evaluation with panorama. Twenty completely edentulous male patients with age range (55-65) years old were equally divided into two groups, for group (I): a maxillary complete denture and a mandibular implant assisted complete overdenture were constructed for each patient using two implants with 3.6mm diameter and 10mm length with O-ring attachments were placed at the canine regions of the mandibular alveolar ridge while for group (II) a maxillary complete denture and a mandibular implant assisted complete overdenture were constructed for each patient using two implants with 3.6mm diameter and 12mm length with O-ring attachments were placed at the canine regions of the mandibular alveolar ridge. Each patient was evaluated clinically as regards to patient satisfaction, gingival recession, probing depth and stability test by using osstell ISQ and radiographically by panoramic evaluation at denture insertion then after 3,6 and 12 months. Data were collected and statistically analysed using the un- paired (t) test between the two groups and paired (t) test within the same group. |
