Description

Locator (resilient stud) attachments have grown in favor in recent decades because they are self-aligned, give dual retention, and need less inter-arch space. The attachment's low profile may be beneficial in individuals with limited restorative space for reducing denture breakage . Furthermore, the interchangeable color-coded nylon inserts come in a variety of retention levels. Furthermore, the attachments allow for limited hinge movement and may adjust implant inclination of up to 40 degrees. However, nylon inserts exhibit significant wear and distortion and need intensive care. Elsyad et...
