ERA® Angle Correction
Changing the ERA ® Male All ERA ® males are mechanically anchored in the denture base. They provide both vertical resiliency and universal hinge movement. Worn males are removed with a specially designed bur and new ones snap into a metal jacket permanently processed into the denture. There is a specifically designed metal jacket for each type of ERA ® male: partial denture – ERA ® -RV, Micro ERA ® , ERA ® overdenture, and Micro ERA ® overdenture. You can also anchor the males directly in the denture acrylic without the metal jacket.
