J Indian Prosthodont Soc. 2015 Jul-Sep;15(3):284-8. doi: 10.4103/0972-4052.155048.

Abstract

Satisfactory restoration in a patient with a partially edentulous situation can be challenging especially when unilateral or bilateral posterior segment of teeth is missing. Successful restoration can be done with various conventional and contemporary treatment options. One such treatment modality is attachment-retained cast partial dentures. A key to success for an attachment retained cast partial denture is the strategic selection of teeth for retention. This clinical report discusses rehabilitation of a patient with the help of a combined prosthesis in the upper arch and stud retained overdenture in the lower arch.

Keywords: Overdenture; preci-vertix attachment; precision attachment.
