The Influence of Implant Inclination on Retention and Peri-implant Stresses of Stud-Retained Implant Overdentures During Axial and Nonaxial Dislodgments: An In Vitro Study.

CONCLUSION: Retention forces and peri-implant stresses decreased as lingual implant inclination increased during axial and nonaxial dislodging of stud-retained implant overdentures. Peri-implant stresses were significantly correlated with dislodging direction and retentive forces.
