Resin-bonded etched castings with extracoronal attachments for removable partial dentures.
An innovative method of using resin-bonded etched cast extracoronal attachments as an esthetic alternative in removable prosthodontics is presented. The technique is simple, conservative, inexpensive, and not time-consuming. The steps of abutment teeth preparation, casting of a precise framework, and cementation are technique-sensitive, and short cuts are not well tolerated. The existing clinical results indicate that the technique is a valuable adjunct in the field of esthetic removable partial prosthodontics.
