Symptoms of wear at the stud of the VKS attachment lead to the loss of the function of the denture. Normally, the patient requires a new prosthetic supply which includes the risk that the root of the abutment tooth may be damaged considerably and can no longer be used to hold the denture. To avoid these risks and additional cost, the VKS stud reworking set has been developed. For hygienic purposes, used instruments should not be reused; they must be disposed of. Use the VKS stud reworking set only for gold alloys. This kit allows the worn VKS patrix (stud) to be milled in the patient’s mouth to a cylindrical post over which a new titanium ball can be placed.
