  • Title: Extracoronal resilient attachments in distal-extension removable partial dentures.
    Author: Ku YC, Shen YF, Chan CP.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 2000 May; 31(5):311-7. PubMed ID: 11203941.
    Abstract:
    Esthetics is often compromised in patients who wear removable partial dentures with metal clasps placed on anterior teeth. Clinical procedures are presented for a new design of a removable partial denture that improves esthetics and function through a new dental attachment. The extracoronal resilient attachment system offers vertical resiliency and universal stress relief for use where a resilient prosthesis is indicated. The removable partial denture retained by these attachments provides esthetics, vertical resiliency, and easy replacement of worn attachments.
