Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients age must range from 55- 60 years old. All patients’ ridges should be covered with firm mucosa free from any signs of inflammation or ulceration and exhibit adequate height and width of the residual alveolar ridge. Patients should be free from any metabolic or bone disorder that contraindicate implant installation. All patients must have sufficient inter arch space

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1- Patients with oral or systemic diseases. 2- Patients with xerostomia or excessive salivation. 3- Patients with parafunctional habits (bruxism or clenching). 4- Heavy smoker or alcoholic patients. 5- Patients with history of temporo-mandibular dysfunction. 6- Patients with brain disorders or psychiatric disorders

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Marginal Bone Changes Marginal bone height changes around the two implants were evaluated through the software by measuring the distance from the alveolar crest to the implant apex in both coronal and sagittal views. The amount of bone loss was calculated by subtracting the measured distance between each radiographic evaluation made at the time of denture insertion and the recall appointments by superimposition of images and average was taken

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Occlusal force distribution measurement Occlusal force distribution was done using the T-Scan™ Novus™, which consists of a sensor registering occlusal contacts, a data transferring module linked to a computer, and a software program to send data to the computer and visualize them on the monitor
