Abstract:
Dental implants or precision attachments can be used to resolve the bilateral distal extension removable partial denture (RPD) dilemma. This report describes the fabrication of a mandibular implant-supported chromium-cobalt RPD with a combination of bilateral single molar implants and metal ceramic crowns using the principles of the channel-shoulder-pin system. The maxillary arch was restored with splinted metal crowns and a conventional RPD retained by extracoronal precision attachments.
