Prefabricated attachments: dent attach V

Extra-coronal plastic attachments such as dent attach V are a highly economical option amongst the range of prefabricated attachments available. They are simple to process, easy to replace and have a “comfortable” friction when the patient is handling a denture with them included.

The general opinion that extra-coronal attachments cause a higher leverage upon the support teeth than the intra-coronal ones is incorrect. In case of a free-end denture with joined attachments, the influence of leverage to the root is the same with both types of attachments.
