PRECISION ATTACHMENT IN PROSTHODONTICS

It offers considerable advantages in dentistry because of their flexibility Precision attachments are sometimes said to be a connecting link between the fixed and removable type of partial dentures because it incorporates features common to both types of construction. Precision attachments retain and attach a removable bridge or partial denture on natural teeth vital or non-vital. Some serve as retainers for full dentures (over dentures) where few abutments remain. The main purpose of each precision attachment besides retention is its concealment within or under a restoration as an esthetically better alternative to a visible clasp retainer
