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.
