Saddle Lock® Hidden Clasp Partial Denture 

Superb Esthetics Without Visible Clasps

Achieving optimal esthetics while maintaining retention, stability and healthy tooth structure has always been a problem with cast partial dentures. The use of clasps resulted in visible metal display drawing attention to the restoration. Abutment crowns and precision attachments eliminated visible metal but usually required extensive preparation of healthy tooth structure.

Now, with the Saddle-Lock Partial Denture Systems, clasp retained partial dentures can be created without visible metal — and, without the aid of cast crowns or expensive precision attachments.

 

The Benefits of Saddle-Lock:

• Clasp design utilizes only proximal walls (i.e. natural mesial and distal undercut planes) of abutment teeth thus eliminating the need for labial clasps.
• Clasp emergence back at casting finish line (provides necessary strength for proper resiliency).
• Clasp terminals positioned at each end of denture saddle, locking segment to the ridge.
• Retentoscope survey and design instrument to precisely measure depth of undercut and accurately determines the placement of each hidden clasp.
• Cosmetically natural appearance due to the elimination of unsightly buccal clasps and visible metal.
