STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR FIXING DENTURE

摘要

An attachment structure for securing a denture in an oral cavity comprises a pin member (18) for securing to the denture and an open-sided channel member (16) for mounting in a cut-out in an existing tooth. The pin member has a head (22) at one end which is a snap fit in a socket (20) at the corresponding end of the channel member, the head and socket being elongated in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pin and socket members and preferably of barrel-like shape.
