Design Details

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Interventional Model Description: Group I: Ten overdentures with locator retentive caps and blue inserts were picked up by the indirect method. Group II: Ten overdentures with locator retentive caps and pink inserts were picked up by the indirect method. Group III: Ten overdentures with locator retentive caps and blue inserts were picked up by the direct method. Group IV: Ten overdentures with locator retentive caps and pink inserts were picked up by the direct method.
Masking: Single
