Factors associated with the risk of fracture of mandibular overdentures on one or two implants: Findings from a 5-year follow-up
There were no significant differences in the incidence of overdenture fractures between groups. Reduced cervico-incisal denture height in the attachment region of ball-retained IODs was associated with mandibular IOD fractures. Further studies with larger cohorts are recommended to identify additional risk factors for mandibular IODs.
