The use of LOCATOR® attachments in implant‐supported removable dental prostheses (ISRDPs) has been evidenced with conflicting clinical behavior in literature. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the long‐term clinical performance of LOCATOR® attachments by evaluating the frequency of the encountered mechanical complication events (MCEs) and the factors that play a role in attachment wear (AW). The study recruited participants with ISRDPs on LOCATOR® attachments. Clinical parameters, number of MCEs (attachment replacements, attachment loosenings, denture cap‐related events, loss of retention and/or insert, and implant fractures), and AW were recorded. Nonparametric tests were applied for statistical analyses (
