Abstract

To increase retention of overdentures in cleft palate patients by means of heightened telescopic copings with a newly designed attachment. In this study, a "precision attachment" is described to develop the stability and retention of telescopic overdentures. A cleft palate patient was treated with a newly designed overdenture. Intraoral examination revealed poor tooth structure and retention. Therefore, a new semiprecision attachment was designed in order to increase retention and stabilization. The patient's tolerance was increased with the new overdenture.
