1. What is the smallest width for the use of the Tube Lock? 1.8mm is the smallest width.
2. Can one attachment do many jobs? Segmented construction of fixed partial dentures. Accommodation of divergent abutments in fixed partial dentures. Removeable periodontal splints. Auxilary connector for the stabilization of precision attachment retained removeable partial dentures.
3. How is this possible? Prior to fabrication one must determine if a positive stop or open gingival floor in the female is desired. A closed gingival floor serves as a positive stop for the male attachment. An open gingival floor on the female of a rod and tube connector eliminates the positive stop. Can be fabricated for independent cementation of bridge segments, or for their independent removal if ever necessary. Interproximal plates aids stability Frictional retention, not adjustable. Plastic pattern male and female. Fixation: Male - Cast as part of a crown or pontic pattern. Female - Cast as part of a crown pattern.
