ATTACHMENTS AS ELEMENTS OF RETENTION FOR PARTIAL DENTURES

U ovom radu opisane su topografske i funkcionalne klasifikacije djelomične bezubosti. Klasifikacija bezubosti je neophodan korak prije izrade plana terapije. Definirani su pojmovi retencije i stabilizacije proteze, kao i fiksno-mobilni kombinirani rad kao mogućnost terapije djelomično bezubih pacijenata. Navedene su indikacije i prednosti takvog načina zbrinjavanja bezubosti. Opisani su precizni pričvrstci kao sredstvo za retenciju djelomične proteze sa zubima nosačima. Navedene su sve podjele pričvrstaka i indikacije za uporabu istih. Nakon svega, prikazan je klinički slučaj rješavanja djelomične bezubosti izradom fiksno-mobilnog kombiniranog rada retiniranog ekstrakoronarnim preciznim pričvrstcima.In this paper the topographic and functional classifications of partial edentulism was described, as they are a prerequisite for adequate treatment planning. Furthermore, this paper defines the terms of retention and stability of denture, as well as the combination work (fixed bridge work combined with the removable partial denture), as the potential treatment method for patients with partial edentulism. The paper also lists indications and advantages of the combination work as the treatment method, as well as the indications and classification of precision attachments fixed to a denture to provide it support and retention. Finally, the study provides the case report of partial edentulism, using the combination work retiained with extracoronal precision attachment
