Abstract

Precision attachments open a new horizon of possibilities in prosthodontic rehabilitation. Varieties in size, shape and configuration allows them to be utilized in many clinical scenarios. However, the complex prosthesis with attachments does not serve the purpose of retention and esthetics but makes it cumbersome for the patient. Two cases in which a simplified approach to semi-precision attachments have been adopted, are discussed here.
