Precision Attachment Boon to Prosthodontists

Abstract

Rehabilitation of distal extension cases is one of the common challenges in dentistry as fabrication of fixed prosthesis is impossible. For the prosthetic rehabilitation of distal extension, implant-supported prosthesis, cast partial denture, and precision attachment prosthesis can be used. Precision attachment helps in the distribution of masticatory forces, minimizes trauma to abutments and soft tissues, improves the esthetics, and retains proprioception and thus better comfort to the patient. This case report presents the fabrication of precision attachment to retain maxillary and mandibular partial dentures.

Keywords: Distal extension; precision attachment; rehabilitation.
