Abstract
The rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients is a real challenge for prosthodontists. Attachment retained cast partial dentures can be an excellent option when economic or anatomic conditions do not permit the use of dental implants. They give functionally and esthetically good results. This article describes rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with attachment retained hybrid prosthesis.
Keywords: Fixed denture, removable partial denture, extra coronal attachment.
