It is a well written review, and could be accepted after minor revision. Please consider the following comments when you revise it.

1. Table 1. There are two advantages in the Table, I think one of it should be disadvantages.
2. I think Table 3 is unnecessary, put all the content in the paragraph is enough.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments on the paper:

The manuscript titled: "Biomechanical Aspects of Various Attachments for Implant Overdentures: A Review" is well written with valuable scientific information presented.

However, there are a few minor corrections that should be made.

1) Page 1, 3rd sentence, ")" is missing

2) Page 2, Table 1, please correct the structural formula for polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) from monomeric form to polymeric form (as the other polymeric forms in Table 1 are presented); also please correct the name from Polymetha-methacrylate to Polymethyl-methacrylate.

3)Please, correct in the same Table 1, in Polymeric materials column, "(polyoxymethyle ne copolymer) " to "(polyoxymethyle-ne copolymer) " i.e. insert "-" after "polyoxymethyle"

4) Page 4, in the paragraph under the Figure 2 please correct in the 1st sentence "40 ͦ " to"40°"

5) Page 5, Table 3, in row Yang et al. in Results column, at the end of the 2nd sentence "...except for in magnetic attachments" please omit "in"

6) Page 6, Figure 3, I suggest a small change in the title of the Figure 3, to insert "I" after "...of the first studied system..." and "II" after "...of the second studied system..." to get "...of the first studied system I (A) and of the second studied system II (B)."

7) Page 8, in Recent Advances and Future Perspective, 2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence, please correct the "polyetheretherketone" to "polyether ether ketone". Please, do the same in Figure 5 title.
