N2  - This study was conducted to evaluate and compare rigid and resilient attachment in implant-retained mandibular overdenture  in controlled diabetic patients, by evaluating the bone height and  density using digital radiography. Twelve completely edentulous patients free from any systemic  disease were selected to participate in this study. All the selected  patients were rehabilitated with mucosa supported maxillary complete denture and implant retained and supported mandibular  overdenture. Two implants were positioned in the canine area following the two stage surgical protocol. The two groups were  randomly divided into two equal groups according to their overdenture retentive system.  Group I: Patients of this group were rehabilitated with implant retained mandibular overdenture by ball and socket attachment. Group II: Patients of this group were rehabilitated with Implant  retained mandibular overdenture by long parallel  telescopic attachments. Three, six, nine and twelve month evaluation of the implant  supporting structures was made by measuring peri-implant bone  height and density using direct digital periapical radiographs ,  which were evaluated using Digora system.
