Advantages of bar attachments : • Rigidly splint the teeth • Provides good retention, stability and support • Provides cross arch stabilization• Positioned close to the alveolar bone (exhibit less
leverage)
Disadvantages : Bulk of bar Plaque accumulation Soldering procedureWeakness of the denture baseRequire to the adequate space

Telescopic Prosthesis Classification and definition: Telescopic crowns were initially introduced as retainers for RPDs and OverdenturesIndications: Unparalleled abutments Uneven spaces between abutments Useful for obturators
Advantages: Increased Retention and stability
Disadvantages: Bulky crowns

Precision Attachments• prefabricated components are machined in special
metal alloys • maximum dimensional tolerance of 0.01 mm• hardness of alloys is controlled• less wear • standard parts which allows the components to be interchangeable
![Page 35: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Semi-Precision• fabricated by the direct casting of plastic ,wax,or refractory
patterns • less accurate than the precision attachment• allow up to 15 degrees (or more) of rotational movement and up to
600 microns (or more) of vertical movement.• In removable partial denture cases, they are cast with the crown or splint and are placed outside the contours of the teeth • advantages: easy fabrication ability to be cast in a wide choice of alloyslower cost

HOW TO attach the components to the framework :• The soldering techniqueThe soldering is the most used procedure to fix prefabricated attachments
• The cast-to technique
insert a component of the attachment (generally the female) directly in the position desired in the wax or resin cap and casting together.

Mechanism of attachments
![Page 44: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Rigid• rigid mechanism only allows for insertion and removal movements of
one of its components• when RPD is completely seated ,rigid attachment prevent all types of
movement between matrix and patrix• all masticatory forces transmitted to the abutment teeth• in distal-extensions ,in which the lever forces transmitted to the
abutment teeth are grater, the splinting of two or more abutments is recommended
• promotes greater stability in the removable denture
![Page 45: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Semi-Rigid the semi-rigid attachment allows limited movement between matrix and patrix when a removable denture is fully seated
these movements generally rotational only a portion of masticatory forces transmitted to the abutment teeth
![Page 47: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Resilient the resilient attachment allows free movement between the patrix and matrix when the removable prosthesis is fully seated
these movements are mechanically limited by the height of the ridges masticatory forces are mostly transmitted to the ridge
![Page 48: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Activation
![Page 50: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Activatable after a certain time of usage , most attachments will exhibit partially reduced or totally lost retention
this type of attachment can be activated with a feature designed specifically for this purpose such as screws, fissures, vertical or horizontal blades
![Page 51: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Nonactivatable nonactivatable attachments do allow a simple swap of their components after a certain time in the oral environment ,plastic material components lose their physical properties;therefore, they should be change every year
![Page 52: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Retention Frictional
• resistance to the relative motion of two or more surfaces in intimate contact with each other
• Beyeler attachment is a good example • if attachments are over -polished , frictional retention may be lost
![Page 53: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

![Page 55: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SELECTING ATTACHMENTS
Condition of periodontal supportWhen teeth are strong, or can be made strong through splinting, non-resilient designs are the connectors of choice.
Condition of residual ridge A residual ridge showing evidence of rampant resorption generally contraindicates resilient designs.
Opposing archTwo resilient prostheses should generally not oppose each other, as two mobile occlusal planes will impair chewing efficiency.
![Page 56: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Vertical height (measured from soft tissue papilla to the occlusal surface)Every attachment has a minimum height requirement; for example, most intracoronal designs require at least 3.5mm and preferably more.
Size of abutments A large pulp chamber or very small mesiodistal dimension may contraindicate an intracoronal design.
Number of abutmentsDouble abutting distal extension cases is always a good idea; however, when not possible, resilient designs are preferred to de-emphasize the supportive role of the abutments.
Position of abutments
Patient dexterityExtracoronal attachments are generally a bit easier to insert than intracoronal. Of the intracoronal designs, tapered attachments are easier than parallel- walled attachments.
Alloy from which the abutment crown will be madeSome attachments must be used only with precious metal. Others only with non-precious alloys.
![Page 57: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Space
Minimum attachment length 4mm
Inadequate attachment length < 4mm
Maximum attachment length 6-7 mm
Axial space requirement Sufficient clinical crown length – for minimum of 4mm attachment length
![Page 58: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Buccolingual space requirement
an additional 1mm should be added to the buccolingual measurement for metal precision
attachments to allow for the casting alloys
![Page 59: Attachments in removable partial prosthesis](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/58716f0d1a28ab58758b71f9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
mesiodistal measurements are critical for intracoronal attachments,since a box preparation is required.
