| Summary: | Since the establishment of implant in dentistry, the use of
removable partial denture in replacing missing teeth apparently
becomes less popular. The situation is made worse by the renowned
limitations of removable partial denture. One of the obvious limitations
of removable partial denture, especially in replacing missing anterior
teeth is the unsightly view of metal used for retentive clasp. This case
report describes the use of spring loaded plunger attachments as an
alternative way to achieve retention and at the same time improving the
aesthetic of the prosthesis. |
