Precision attachments / Locators

Dental precision attachments connect removable partial dentures to fixed bridgework or crown under a male/female locking mechanism. Some advantages to dental precision attachments include maintainable periodontal health, less force on abutment teeth, cosmetic appearance, longevity and stability. The ‘male’ part is fixed to the crown or bridgework whereas the ‘female’ part holds the removable partial denture and the aim of the precision attachment is to give the patient maximum comfort and ease while wearing, inserting or removing. There is more different kind of attachments that will avoid the need for unsightly clasps.
