Custom precision attachment housings for removable partial dentures.
Limited space for extracoronal attachments is a serious complication in the design and fabrication of a precision attachment removable partial denture. A custom metal-ceramic housing joined to the partial framework with laser welding offers strength and improved esthetics while requiring minimal space. This article presents the technical aspects of custom housing construction.
