  Author(s): Fardos N Rizk and Sara F El Shafei*
  
  This study was conducted to compare the effect of GPS attachment, OT Equator attachment and Ball and Socket attachment on crestal bone around implants in implant retained mandibular overdenture cases. Materials and Methods: Following two stage surgical protocol eighteen completely edentulous patients received two implants placed bilaterally in the canine region (36 implants) to retain mandibular overdentures. Inclusion Criteria: Patients were all healthy men, non-smokers, Following Misch rules of bone classification patients with bone density ranging from 850-1250 HU (D2) and bone height and width more than 10 mm and 5 mm respectively. Four months following the surgery patients were randomly divided into three equal groups; the first group received OT Equator attachment (Group OT), the second group received GPS attachment (Group GPS) and the third Group received Ball and Socket attach..
