Hi Ed,
I just looked up the device part that is the attachment. The last time I bought one, it was from Attachments Int. in CA. The part is a ACS 52 Anterior. If you need more info, email me. My prosthodontist has said if he were making my partials now, he would use something different. I think they have some better devices these days.

You are so close to MD Anderson, can't they give you a referral to a prosthodontist that can help you? Partials are not cheap, but a lot cheaper than implants, especially if insurance will not pay for hyperbaric oxygen like mine.

Let me know if you need any more info. Say hello to Susan from Charlie and me.

Take care,
Eileen

Hi Ed,
Have you made any progress on finding someone to make you partials? You need a maxillofacial prosthodontist, preferably one that is used to dealing with eradiated gums. Have you tried calling MD Anderson for a recommendation in your area? What's the 'hang up' that makes your case so difficult? Let me know how your search is going.

Take care,
Eileen
