A precision attachment is a mechanical device that connects a removable partial denture (RPD) to natural teeth. It’s made up of two parts, a “male” part and a “female” part, that lock together to stabilize the denture.
Uses
- Precision attachments are used in removable dentures, overdentures, and implant retained overdentures.
- They can help distribute forces, reduce trauma to soft tissues and teeth, and improve the appearance of the denture.
