Definition• An attachment is a mechanical
device made up of two components, one located in or on the abutments tooth and the other housed in the denture. When the two matched parts are linked together they produce very positive retention.

Intracoronal Attachments -1
• Two components: Matrix and Patrix.
• Sliding joint configuration.• Retain, support and stabilise
the removable partial denture.

Intracoronal Attachments -2
• Crowns.• At least 4 mm vertical
space.• At least 3 mm buccolingual
space.• Parallelism.

semi precision attachments.

Extracoronal attachments -1
• Two components: e.g. Dalbo (Patrix) and other component (Matrix) held in denture.
• Sliding joint configuration.• Retain and stabilise
removable partial dentures.
![Page 11: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Extracoronal attachments -2
• Reside entirely outside the normal clinical contour of abutments.
• Need no space within the abutment crown.
• May be employed where buccolingual space is limited.
• often employed to retain bilateral distal extension prostheses.
![Page 12: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Extracoronal attachments -3
• Location: Extracoronal.• Size: Micro attachments.• Functional characteristics:
Rigid or movable attachments.
• Fabrication: Precision or semi precision attachments.
![Page 13: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Extracoronal attachments -4
• Rigid : only allow movement in one direction.
• Movable: movement allowed should be regarded as a safety valve and not as a means of anchoring an unstable prosthesis to natural teeth.

Macro attachments
• E.g. Telescopic crowns
![Page 15: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Indications When neither fixed bridge nor
clasp retained denture would be satisfactory.
Small bounded saddles with considerable bone loss.
Retain bilateral distal extension prosthesis.
Join a series of crowns which don’t have common path of insertion.
Overdentures. Implants.

Contraindications
Short clinical crowns of abutment teeth (Intracoronal attachments).
Limited buccolingual space of abutment teeth (Intracoronal attachments).
Large size of pulp (Intracoronal attachments).
Poor periodontal health of abutment teeth (Rigid attachments).
Lack of experience and clinical skills (Extra and Intracoronal attachments).
Bad oral hygiene (Extra and Intracoronal attachments).
![Page 17: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Advantages Better aesthetic results and more effective retention than
clasps. More apical functional load transfer to abutments than rests
(Intracoronal attachments). Diminish rotational movements of abutments (Intracoronal
attachments). Improved cross arch load transfer and stabilisation of
prosthesis. Limit the potentially damaging force imparted to abutments
(Extracoronal attachments and Intracoronal attachments).

Disadvantages Abutment teeth usually
have to be crowned. Occupy a lot of space. Encourage plaque
accumulation. Require ongoing
maintenance. Clinical and technical skills
are demanding. Relatively expensive.

How to choose appropriate attachments for different cases? -1
• Personal design philosophy• Rigid or movable?• How much resiliency?
![Page 23: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How to choose appropriate attachments for different cases? -2
• Condition of the abutment teeth
• Intra or extracoronal attachments?
![Page 24: Attachments in Removable Pros Tho Don Tics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/540f686c7bef0a7d7c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How to choose appropriate attachments for different cases? -3
• Condition of the non-abutment supportive structures (periodontal tissues and alveolar ridge)
• Rigid or movable ?
