The demand and awareness for quality of dental treatment is relatively increasing in today's generation mainly aesthetics are concerned, along with other functions of the prosthesis. The most challenging job for a prosthodontist is to rehabilitate the partial edentulous patient especially distal extension cases where fabrication of fixed prosthesis is quite impossible without using implants. Several conventional and contemporary treatment options were available for treating long span edentulous situations In case of partially edentulous mouth, it requires more attention for esthetics. While achieving the goal, the components which are incorporated in removable partial denture may result in unsightly appearance. In this case report, precision attachment is used which amplified the aspects of retention stability and particularly esthetics when compared to conventional removable partial dentures.
