Biomechanical Analysis of Mandibular Implant-Supported Overdentures With Different Retention Materials.
Article in International dental journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical effects of different modulus of elasticity retentive materials (titanium [Ti]; polyetheretherketone [PEEK] and polyetherketoneketone [PEKK]) on mandibular implant-supported overdentures.
methodsA finite element model of a mandibular 2-implant overdenture was constructed. Attachment housings were simulated in Ti, PEEK or PEKK, paired with retentive inserts of nylon, PEEK or PEKK. Three occlusal loading conditions were simulated: a 100 N vertical load on the left first molar (centric occlusion), a 100 N oblique load on the same site (lateral occlusion), and a 100 N vertical load on the bilateral mandibular central incisors (50 N per tooth, protrusive occlusion). The stress distribution across all structures of the implant-supported overdenture and the denture displacement were analysed.
results(1) The Ti-housing/PEKK-insert configuration produced the lowest denture base stress and displacement but the highest stress on implants, abutments, and peri-implant bone, (2) Under all 3 loading conditions, bone tissue stress predominantly concentrated in the cortical bone near the implant cervix; implant stress mainly focused on its internal region connected to the abutment; denture stress primarily accumulated at the contact area between the tissue-facing surface of the denture base and the attachment housing, (3) In intergroup comparisons, oblique loading conditions showed the highest stress values for the implant, abutment, peri-implant bone tissue and denture base.
conclusionNylon, PEEK and PEKK are all viable retentive insert materials. Nylon is preferable for reducing stress on implants and bone, whereas PEEK or PEKK inserts better enhance prosthetic stability and reduce denture base fracture risk.
