Abstract

This study measured the retention profiles of 11 commercially available stud-type attachment systems suitable for use with overdentures. The vertical distance over which resistance to separation existed was recorded and related to the configuration of the attachments. In many of the systems tested, only a small portion of the vertical length of the attachment contributed to the retention of the unit.

[Case report of a patient with bounded missing, treated with removable partial denture].

PATIENT: The patient was a 60-year-old male with the chief complaint of loosening of the bridge on the upper right side. The diagnoses of the patient were detachment of the bridge (7 6 5 4 3 2 1 | 1) and root fracture (5|). A cobalt chromium plate with Mini-SG attachment was used at 4 3 2| to fix the bridge. The course of the patient was uneventful five years after the treatment. DISCUSSION: Judging from the condition of the detached bridge, the same type of fixed bridge was considered too weak to withstand the lateral force. Stabilization of the functional occlusion was achieved by using the attachment, followed by good clinical results. CONCLUSION: The patient was satisfied with the comfort of the removable partial denture with attachment, and good functional results were obtained.
