Preat - Hader Clip Change

Author
5/4/2017

This procedural video demonstrates how to replace a Hader clip when retention is no longer adequate. It explains that replacement clips can be selected to customize retention to patient needs. The workflow begins by carefully slicing the old clip lengthwise with a scalpel or surgical blade, then removing it from the metal housing with cotton pliers or an explorer. The video specifically warns against grinding the clip or housing with a handpiece because this can damage the metal. A new clip is placed on the insertion tool, aligned with the denture housing, and pressed firmly into position. The same process is repeated for any additional clips requiring replacement.
