What is a precision attachment removable prosthesis?

Precision attachment dentures are special removable dental prostheses used to replace multiple missing teeth in cases where fixed prostheses are not possible. They offer both aesthetic appeal and durability thanks to metal clips that are placed on crowned natural teeth.

How long does the application process take?

Precision-retained prostheses are usually completed in 5 sessions over a period of 2 weeks:

• Taking initial measurements

• Rehearsal and fit checks

• Final installation and usage training

Ease of Use

Although it may feel tight at first, it becomes easier to put on and take off over time. Proper use ensures the parts last a long time.

The Lower and Upper Jaw Alignment Process

• Lower Dentures: These contain thin metal pieces that pass under the tongue.

• Upper Prostheses: These are secured with thin support structures extending across the palate.
  Most patients get used to this structure quickly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Prostheses should be cleaned daily, just like full dentures.

• Regular maintenance is required to ensure that the retaining parts maintain their function.

Feeding with Precision Retained Prostheses

• Thanks to its stable structure, it won't slip while you're eating.

• Rubber parts that loosen over time are replaced to maintain a secure fit.

Aesthetic Advantages

It offers a natural smile thanks to invisible retainers. It is aesthetically far superior to classic clasp (hook) prostheses.

Important Considerations During Use

• The fasteners should be attached and removed gently without applying excessive pressure.

• Make sure it fits snugly before biting.

Repairs and Adjustments

• Rubber parts that loosen over time can be easily replaced.

• Larger repairs, such as to the base or crown, may take a little longer.

Who is it suitable for?

Diabetes Patients

• It is safe. However, the recovery period may be slightly longer.

• Artificial saliva solutions are recommended for those experiencing dry mouth.

Osteoporosis Patients

• Providing support to existing teeth is an effective solution for patients with low bone density.

Allergic Individuals

• Alternative materials are available for patients with metal or acrylic sensitivities.

• An allergy test can be performed before the procedure.

Durability and Lifespan

• With proper care, precision-retained prostheses can be used for many years.

• Only the rubber parts need to be replaced over time. The other parts are durable as long as the support treads are healthy.

Preparation of Existing Teeth

The teeth used as supports are crowned, ensuring a secure fit for the prosthesis. This both extends its lifespan and provides stability.

What is the difference between this and classic removable dentures?

• Aesthetics: The crochet hook is invisible, offering a more natural look.

• Preparation: Supporting teeth are reinforced with crowns.

• Support: At least 4–6 healthy teeth are required.

Comparison of Fixed and Removable Prostheses

While fixed prostheses are more durable, precision-retained prostheses are an effective alternative that does not require surgery like implants. They successfully restore oral function.
