Precision means being 'precise', and attachment means 'A mechanical device' used to fix or retain dental prosthesis. These attachments act as the connection link between the RPD and the dental implants or abutment teeth.

Precision attachments provide better vertical sup‐ port and better stimulation to the underlying tissue through intermittent vertical massage. Complexity of design, complex principles, and pro‐ cedures for fabrication and clinical treatment. Expensive increased overall cost of the treatment.

A precision attachment denture is a kind of RPD that contains precision attachment(s) to lock the denture onto the natural teeth. Precision attachment dentures are made up of two components. The ‘male’ part is fixed to the natural teeth and the corresponding ‘female’ section is incorporated into the denture.

Jan 3, 2015 · The purpose of using precision and semi-precision attachments is that they function as the retentive and supporting elements while redirecting the occlusal forces onto the areas that can support or share the masticatory loads.

Components for intracoronal precision attachment removable partial denture. A. Occlusal view of PARPD (note position of attachments) B. Male portion of attachment which is integral with the partial denture.

Limited space for extracoronal attachments is a serious gap in the design and the fabrication of a precision attachment Removable Partial Denture (RPD). A custom semi-precision attachment with a partial denture offers strength and improved aesthetics in cases with minimal space.

It includes frictional, internal, intracoronal, extracoronal, key-key way, parallel, precision and slotted types. The correct use of attachments may overcome both physical and psychological problems associated with conventional RPD designs. …

A precision attachment is a connecting link consisting of two components for the fixation, retention, and stabilization of prosthesis. One part is fixed to an abutment, and the other is integrated into a RPD to stabilize and retain it.

Sep 1, 2018 · Precision attachments have wide applications, used in fixed removable bridge, removable partial dentures, overdentures, implant retained overdentures, and maxillofacial prosthesis.

A Denture Precision Attachment refers to a type of removable partial denture that utilizes precision attachments to secure the denture onto natural teeth. It consists of male and female components that lock together, providing stability, comfort, and ease of use for the patient.
