ABSTRACT:
An improved removable partial denture is provided for use in an edentulous space. The denture has a plurality of artificial teeth joined to each other on a base and an attachment means at each of the two ends of the denture for attaching the denture to the wearers abutment teeth. The improvement comprises utilizing an attachment means which includes a cylindrical pin having one end attached to the proximal surface of a crown and the other end removably retained in a hollow tubular member. The hollow tubular member is frictionally and rotatably mounted at one end in the bottom of the base of the denture which holds the artificial tooth adjacent the abutment tooth. The other end of the tubular member has an axial slot in the wall thereof, the slot being of sufficient length and width to permit the passage of the pin into the member with slight flexure of the walls of the slot. The walls of the slot thus retain the pin within the tubular member.
