Combines
the rock solid feel of fixed bridgework with the
hygienic and aesthetic benefits of a removable denture.
The Slant-Lock® retention system is a hybrid
which has the solid, locked-in stability of a fixed
prosthesis, yet can be easily unlocked and removed
by the
patient.
The Slant-Lock®
system features three points retention
for maximum stability. Distally retention is created
by the use of two slanted, double tapered wedged
and sleeves which are tilted aproximately 30 degrees
from vertical. Anterior retention is achieved from
a housing which slips over the bar, with a latch
arm that engages beneath the splinting bar. There
are no springs or parts requiring replacement. Totally
abutment supported, the prothesis feels as solid
as bridgework to the patient.
