  • Biophysical principles of the AcryLock attachments use in contemporary prosthetic dentistry
    Veleski, Dragoljub ; Pejkovska, B. ; Antanasova, Maja
    Introduction. There are many choices and different protocols when determining treatment of partially edentulous patients. In this article we are reviewing the dental treatment throughout the use of ... partial dentures with AcryLock attachments in patients who previously have been treated with different types of fixed-mobile appliances. Material and Methods. We have accomplished fixed-mobile dental appliances with the use of AcryLock attachments in 7 patients who previously have worn appliances with Lecodent attachments. Comparative analysis has been carried out with the methods used in biophysics. The patients have been followed-up for a year. Results. After the fixed-mobile prosthetic rehabilitation has been accomplished with the use of attachments from the AcryLock system, exceptional functional and aesthetic results have been noticed. Conclusion. The AcryLock attachments serve the patient extremely well as a treatment modality option with removable partial dentures for several reasons. Primarily, they are designed very close to the abutment tooth centre, allowing the direction of the force vectors straight down along the long axis of the tooth. Attachments shown in this survey illustrate good functional and aesthetic aspects. Consequently, it is realistic to expect greater longevity in the use of these elements, in comparison to the previous methods in treatment of partially edentulous patients.
