Radicular stud attachment: an alternative to improved retention and esthetics

Shanti Varghese et al. J Indian Prosthodont Soc. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

With the increasing demand and popularity of dental implants, the use of removable partial dentures in replacing missing teeth has become less popular. One of the obvious limitations of RPD is the unsightly view of metal used for the retentive clasp and the difficulty in obtaining a good fit. This case report describes the use of a radicular stud attachment as an alternative method to obtain improved retention and esthetics.

Keywords: Dalbo Rotex; Intracoronal attachment; Precision attachment; Radicular attachment.
