Clinical procedures in precision attachment removable partial denture construction

A technique has been outlined for construction of a metal base precision attachment. The technique emphasizes the need for an accurate impression of the edentulous ridge and construction of a metal base. The metal base is related intraorally to the abutment restorations and fixed via a strut with autopolymerizing acrylic resin. When the relationship has been determined the replacement dentition is added to the base.
