Abstract:
Passively retained precision attachment partial dentures have been used successfully on natural tooth abutments since the 1920s. However, the dental profession has not advocated their use with implant abutments. When used in the passive manner that has proven successful on natural tooth abutments, precision attachment cases on implant abutments can be an excellent treatment option. This type of case has been used successfully for more than 17 years and offers tremendous advantages over the conventional overdenture approach to removal restorations on implant abutments.
