Abstract

Aim:  To evaluate the crestal bone level mesial and distal side of abutment of ball and bar attachment Materials and Method: A prospective comparatively clinical study was performed in 10 patients in 20 implant (3 female and 7 males) requiring mandibular edentulous arch followed by two implant placed each patents in each group in the Department of oral & maxillofacial surgery DJ college of dental science and research, Modinagar.  This study was conducted on adults from local population requiring who were wearing conventional complete denture since 3-6 months and were not satisfied with the mandibular denture. Fulfilling all inclusive and exclusive criteria were included in this study. Patients prior to the commencement of implant surgery a detailed history of the patients was carefully recorded and patients were apprised about the potential  risks and benefits and an informed consent was obtained on prescribed format. Results: 10 patients in 20 implant (3 female and 7 males) with a mean age of 56 years available for 9 month follow-up of examination. Group with 10 implants in ball attachment and group 2 in 10 implants with bar attachments. No implant failure between the 3months to 9 months follow-up were observed. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) showed only minor changes with no significant differences between the group when compared with the 9month follow-up. Conclusion: No significant difference were found between subjects in two groups with respect to implant survival and bone loss and patient satisfaction scores continued to be high of both groups.
