Internal Hex PDF Print E-mail
Description

The internal hex was marketed as a more stable and retentive alternative to the external hex. I do not agree! This attachment provides a recessed portion in the top of the implant.

 

Prosthetic Advantages

A fairly common attachment although patent rights are constantly being argued. It is very stable and retentive

 

Prosthetic Disadvantages

Possible fracture of the head of the implant.

 

Economics

More expensive than external hex prosthetics but within reason.

 

Recommendations

An excellent choice
