Practical, esthetic options for retention of removable partial dentures: a case report.
This case report describes the treatment of an adult patient with a combination of fixed and removable prosthodontics. The patient was very conscious of esthetics and asked to have no clasps showing. Therefore, retentive features that produced good esthetics without being overly complex or expensive were provided. This report describes two less commonly used yet very practical and esthetic retentive features that can be used in many situations.
