The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry Volume 58, Issue 3, September 1987, Pages 322 327 A classification of precision attachments Gerardo Becerra, Odontol. Dr.*, Michael MacEntee, L.D.S., R.C.S. (I), F.R.C.D. (C)Corresponding author conta ct information, ** University of British Columbia, Faculty of Dentistry, Vancouver, B.C., Canad a Abstract This overview of attachments is intended to provide an explanation of the design characteristics of 13 different groups. The clinical situation for which an att achment 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 design is available, so if attachments are used, they should be selected from the grou p with the most suitable characteristics for the task required. The stress-breaking effect of attachments is vague. They offer a potential for r otational and resilient movement between the prosthesis and the abutment teeth, but the amount of stress that must be broken to protect the periodontium of the teeth may exceed the capabilities of any particular attachment used. Nevertheles s, attachments can provide an effective answer to prosthesis stability and reten tion in a way that is cosmetically pleasing.

An attachment classification and compendium of attachments represent ed 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 b etween the dentist and the dental laboratory in developing a meaningful work ord er and permit both the dentist and the laboratory technician to have a logical m eans of attachment selection based upon measurements and the function desired.

Clinical retention force development of double crowns Clinical Oral Investigations, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2012, Pages 407-411 Abstract This study deals with the development of the retentive forces of dou ble crowns intraorally measured. Twenty-five combined fixed-removable prostheses with a total of 84 double crowns were included in the study. The intraoral meas urement was performed at 72 defined measuring points directly adjacent to the do uble 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 restor ation. A specifically designed measuring device was used. The median values for the single measuring points reached 4.705 N at the baseline, 5.190 N after 6 mon ths, and 3.740 N after 18 months. The measured values were analyzed according to differences between the median retention forces at the three defined points in time. The statistical analysis of the median values showed no statistical differ ence for the retention force change after 6 months but for the decrease until th e second recall (Mann-Whitney test). The retention force per denture was calcula ted by a summation of the single measuring points. At the baseline, 12.9 N was r eached. The forces did only decrease slightly and were not statistically signifi cant. The results indicate that retention force values of double crowns, measure d intraorally at the patient, do not relevantly change clinically within the fir st 1. 5 years. Within the limitations of this study, it can be stated that wear does not influence the retentive forces of double crowns within the first 18 mon ths. After this period the retention force should be still sufficient for dentur e retention. 2011 Springer-Verlag.
