Case Study # 3: VKS-SG
Attachments 2.2
.
The extra coronal precision attachment for removable partial dentures
are
usually more suited for patients to insert rather than intra-coronal
which
requires more accuracy for insertion. This case study has a PFM crown
on
the lower right, 1st bicuspid and 2 PFM crowns on the left 1st and 2nd
bicuspid. The SG attachment in the 2.2 mm size (see Case 4 for 1.7)
were
utilised. The SG is a low cost attachment that is resilient. The
plastic
retention sleeves absorb potentially destructive loads and distributes
these forces away from the crowned abutments to the supportive bone and
tissue. There are three varied retentions that can be replaced at chair
side in approximately 30 seconds.
Case Study # 4: VKS-SG
1.7 mini
.
In this case the 1.7 mm. or mini is utilised on a six anterior
lower bridge. The extra-coronal attachment can be used with small
retaining abutments such as lower anteriors. There is a high patient
acceptance because of the easy insertion and removal. There is minimal
wear to the retentive sleeve, because it is made of duroplast, a
thermal plastic material that wears better than conventional nylon. The
SG attachments also has guide walls on both the male and female to
prevent posterior lift off of the lower partial denture. The SG mini
can be used in anterior areas where space is at a premium. The SG mini
can be used in a bilateral or unilateral free end with compatible cross
arch stabilization. Finally the SG can also be utilised on implant
bars.
