Precision attachments in partial removable prosthodontics: an update for the practitioner part 2

Abstract

The aims of this second paper are to address the general principles involved in treatment planning precision attachment-retained dentures, with careful consideration of the whole patient rather than just the intra-oral aspects of planning. These principles are illustrated with four cases. The literature on maintenance and complications is also discussed in this paper. Clinical Relevance: Precision attachments are an option to increase retention in challenging prosthetic cases.
