چکیده
Attachment-retained removable partial denture (RPD) is not an outdated treatment modality. It is even more contemporary in today’s appearance-oriented society than when it was first introduced. There is significant number of patients who could benefit from this treatment option, both short and long term. However, lack of proper knowledge, overwhelming number of attachments available in the market, multiple adjustments and repairs are making dentists reluctant to offer and provide attachment-retained RPD services. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview and a simplified approach to this treatment modality by way of a case report.
