Table 2. Articulation disorders according to the PNT. The type and number of articulation disorders evaluated during the different phases of maxillary overdenture treatment (preoperative with conventional denture, connection of the overdenture to the bar and 3 years follow-up after connection). The significance level was, after Bonferroni correction, set at α=0.05/3.
