| The ball in place in the
mouth, or on a model (FIG 1). Place the large tin spacer (FIG
2) over
the ball and contour the pliable tin spacer around the ball and gingival
area (FIG 3). You may need to cut a slot in the tin spacer. |
| Using the Preci Clix female
insertion tool, seat the Clix female in to the metal housing (FIG 4). Place
the black rubber spacer (FIG 5) on the ball, over the tin spacer (FIG
6--the tin spacer is removed from this picture in order to show the black spacer). |

| The prosthesis is relieved, and checked
to make sure that there is no contact with the attachment or abutment (FIG
8). It is recommended to cut a "vent", or small channel in the lingual side of
the prosthesis to allow excess acrylic to escape. A
small amount of low viscous self-cure resin is
placed in the relieved area of the prosthesis (FIG 9). |

The prosthesis is seated in the mouth for approximately 6
minutes (FIG 10). Apply finger pressure only in the area of the attachments. Do not have
the patient close or bite, as this will displace tissue. After the acrylic resin has set, the metal housing is fixed
in the prosthesis (FIG 11). Remove any excess resin. Also remove the tin spacer
and black rubber spacer. The female may be easily changed in the metal housing to adjust retention. |

Place the appropriate retention insert into the metal housing. |
