Precision attachments are utilized in
bridges for:
-
Non-parallel abutments.
-
Segmenting bridges.
-
Future conversion if abutments must be sacrificed.
Segmented bridges offer the advantage of only requiring sections of
prepared abutments to be parallel, improved contours, thinner connectors for open
embrasures, less thermal distortion from porcelain application, easier cementation,
independent physiologic movement of segments, and conversion capability without losing the
entire bridge.
Rod and tube type attachments, such as the
Splintastik, are
primarily designed for use with anterior abutments. Dove-tail shaped attachments, such as
the FR and BPD, are primarily designed for posterior usage.

EverStick
Pre-wetted E-glass fiber, pre-impregnated with a silane
coupler that allows the material to bond to acrylics and composites.
Since EverStick truly bonds to acrylics and composites,
you can grind/polish the prosthesis, adjust high spots, and place the
reinforcement where it matters: at the edge to stop cracks/breaks from
beginning.
Designed for chairside use. |

FR Attachment
The
FR is more accurate than any plastic pattern attachment, provides
excellent proximal wall contacts for stability, and allows the
ability for easy conversion if any abutments need to be sacrificed.
We strongly recommend the use of the FR attachment in fixed
bridges. Of special interest is the inverted FR technique, which
provides for a closed occlusal surface of the entire bridge
and improved esthetics.

Splintastik
The Splintastik
is a very simple plastic male and female rod and tube for use
in anterior regions. The ceramic casting inserts assure accurate
casting. Two sizes are available--the small size is small enough
to fit into lower anteriors! The small size also allows for
open embrasures, good tooth contour, no extensive tooth reduction,
and the height may be reduced if necessary. Other advantages
include independent cementation and removal of bridge segments,
the polished ceramic insert eliminates bubbles during investing
and ensures consistent and accurate castings, and Splintastik
may be cast simultaneously along with the abutment crowns in
any alloy--including non-precious. Splintastik allows independent
physiologic movement of segments.

New Double Mandrel BPD
The
BPD is an improved design for a universal plastic pattern. The
simple to use plastic dovetail intracoronal attachment can be
used for non-parallel abutments, segmented bridges, and removable
partial dentures with a retentive clasp arm.
The built
in mandrel on the male and
female provides the convenience
of using the BPD in a traditional manner,
or inverting it. By inverting the BPD,
- no
metal is shown on the occlusal surface for better esthetics.
- placing
the male extracoronal of the crown does not require additional
space, or abutment reduction.
- On
mandibular implant cases, the female tends to follow the taper
of the male and allow for some flexing of the lower jaw.
The
patterns are produced in a clean burnout plastic. The reduced
size provides wider application, better abutment contours, and
improved esthetics. Taper ensures easy insertion and well defined
proximal plates provide increased stability. A universal attachment.

Dupla Attachment
The universal black plastic male may be used as either
a traditional Keyway for posterior attachments (pink female), or as a Rod
and Tube for anterior attachment (green female).
Use the black male on the desired side with the
corresponding female. The other side of the male may be secured in
wax.
One attachment for all bridgework!
