[The well-established Dalbo-Rotex-retainer and the newly developed Ticap-system. Low-cost anchorage possibilities in the removable prosthesis].
Conventional retainers for removable prostheses are frequently used in the daily practice. Financial limits, physical and mental restrictions especially among elderly or disabled patients, and/or limited prognosis of abutment teeth may require simple and less expensive alternatives. For these indications the well-established Dalbo-Rotex-retainer and the newly developed Ticap-system are available. Both systems are options for the anchorage of removable prostheses. Their clinical use is presented; furthermore their advantages and restrictions are discussed.
