<br/><br/> Single implant mandibular overdenture had been reported to achieve satisfactory patient centered results. Two groups (Ball and CM loc attachments) were chosen to support the over-denture. 40 completely edentulous patients were recruited for submerged healing protocol. Implants were installed based on CBCT planning and after patients approval confirmed by a written consent. Implants left three months to osseointegrate , after which randomization was done prior to attachment pick up to select from either BALL or CM LOC attachments Soft tissue health was assessed through four domains. Gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation were more observed around and over ball respectively. expressing relatively worse results than that of CMLOC attachment. Marginal bone loss aroun implants after the one year followup period showed no significant difference between them and that the bone loss for each goup fell within the accepted range for endosseal dental implants
