Breda, The NetherlandsAbstract

A multifunctional precision attachment used in a fixed partial denture with questionable prognosis enhances the serviceability of the reconstruction. In the treatment presented, future loss of the posterior abutments will not jeopardize thecomplete rehabilitation. Osseointegrated implants used in conjunction with a fixed prosthesis or a removable partial denture can restore the missing segments.

Abstract

This overview of attachments is intended to provide an explanation of the designcharacteristics of 13 different groups. The clinical situation for which an attachment is intended will place specific demands that can be met more closely if

the forces acting on the prosthesis are considered. No universal or ideal designis available, so if attachments are used, they should be selected from the group with the most suitable characteristics for the task required.

The stress-breaking effect of attachments is vague. They offer a potential for rotational and resilient movement between the prosthesis and the abutment teeth,but the amount of stress that must be broken to protect the periodontium of theteeth may exceed the capabilities of any particular attachment used. Nevertheless, attachments can provide an effective answer to prosthesis stability and retention in a way that is cosmetically pleasing.

An attachment classification and compendium of attachments represented by the E. M. attachment selector and gauge have been described and discussed.The E. M. attachment selector and gauge afford a direct line of communication between the dentist and the dental laboratory in developing a meaningful work order and permit both the dentist and the laboratory technician to have a logical means of attachment selection based upon measurements and the function desired.

407-411AbstractThis study deals with the development of the retentive forces of dou

ble crowns intraorally measured. Twenty-five combined fixed-removable prostheseswith a total of 84 double crowns were included in the study. The intraoral measurement was performed at 72 defined measuring points directly adjacent to the double crowns of the dentures. The measurement was performed 4-6 weeks (baseline),

6 months (recall 1), and 18 months (recall 2) after the insertion of the restoration. A specifically designed measuring device was used. The median values forthe single measuring points reached 4.705 N at the baseline, 5.190 N after 6 months, and 3.740 N after 18 months. The measured values were analyzed according todifferences between the median retention forces at the three defined points intime. The statistical analysis of the median values showed no statistical difference for the retention force change after 6 months but for the decrease until the second recall (Mann-Whitney test). The retention force per denture was calculated by a summation of the single measuring points. At the baseline, 12.9 N was reached. The forces did only decrease slightly and were not statistically significant. The results indicate that retention force values of double crowns, measured intraorally at the patient, do not relevantly change clinically within the first 1. 5 years. Within the limitations of this study, it can be stated that weardoes not influence the retentive forces of double crowns within the first 18 months. After this period the retention force should be still sufficient for denture retention. 2011 Springer-Verlag.
