The Precision Attachment Dentures
Precision attachments are used i.e. for partial dentures as
shown on this site. They provide support, stability and
retention.
In a patient who only has a few worn remaining teeth, it is
imperative to keep the roots and fit the precision attachments
to the top of them so that the dentures can be clipped on and
off.
The main reason for having precision attachments is for
aesthetic reasons as they have no clasps.
The Precision
Attachment Dentures consist of crowns with attachments, i.e. a
combination of permanently fixed and removable dentures.
The front teeth, for example, are fixed in place by crowns or
bridges. The removable section of the denture is attached to the
crowns by invisible precision mechanical auxiliary parts. The
fit and handling of the precision attachment are ideal.
Most aesthetic requirements can also be taken into account. When
the prosthesis is removed from the mouth, the fixed crowns
remain in place, so that there are no cosmetic disadvantages.
- +++ Elimination of anaesthetic clasps
- +++ Better force distribution to supporting teeth
- +++ Stops denture from moving side to side or up and down
- +++ Reduces food impaction, plaque and decay
- +++ Improved comfort and chewing efficiency
