OBJECTIVE :
The awareness and demand for quality of dental treatment is relatively increasing in recent generation. Various options available for the replacement of partially missing teeth are over dentures, clasp retained removable partial dentures, removable partial dentures with precision attachments and implants. A removable partial denture with a retained attachment system is one of the treatment modalities which may assist prosthodontist to achieve better functions and aesthetics in substituting missing teeth and oral structures. An attachment is defined as “A mechanical device for the fixation, retention and stabilization of prosthesis.”
The precision attachment denture has long been considered advantageous in dentistry as it combines fixed and removable prosthodontics in such a way as to create the most esthetic partial denture possible. Nevertheless they have in the past been largely ignored by most dental professionals for understandable reasons, notably cost and inadequate grasp of their application. Last decade with greater demand for complex and esthetic restoration and an increase in the popularity of implant has brought a concomitant increase in the popularity of attachment retained prosthesis. Precision attachments are two precocious metal components which are manufactured to form an articulate joint. First component or matrix is a metal receptacle or keyway, which is positioned within the normal clinical contours of a cast restoration placed on the attachment or the second component or patrix is attached to the removable partial denture. They are designed to replace occlusal rest, bracing arm and retaining arm of the conventional clasp retained partial denture.
