ATTACHMENT RETAINED CAST PARTIAL DENTURE - AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION TO DISTAL EXTENSION PARTIAL EDENTULOUS SPACE - A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Rehabilitating the partial edentulous patients, especially distal extension situations are mostly challenging to a Prosthodontist. Successful restoration can be achieved with the attachment retained cast partial denture. The use of semiprecision attachments enhances the retention and stability of the removable partial denture where fixed treatment is not possible in the posterior region. This case report describes a method of using semiprecision attachment in bilateral distal extension partial edentulous case. KEYWORDS: Distal extension, Precision attachment, Partially edentulous
