Abstract

Background: Distal edentulous spaces can be challenging when rehabilitation with dental implants is limited. Attachment-retained removable partial dentures [RPD] work as a therapy that can compensate rotational movements and reduce the number of abutments. Case description: This clinical report addresses indications, selection and procedures for the rehabilitation of a partially edentulous maxilla, involving laminate veneers, fixed and removable prostheses. Practical implications: Attachment-retained RPDs provide sufficient retention and improved aesthetics compared to clasp-retained partial dentures. Careful aesthetic and functional planning and periodic follow-up are essential for patients' satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
