The prosthetic rehabilitation of partial edentulism is arcane due to the exacting functional and aesthetic demands. In dentistry, precision attachments employs key and keyway housing that connects a removable partial denture to a fixed crown or fixed partial denture framework. To consider precision attachments as an option in the treatment planning of long span distal extension cases the practitioner requires profound knowledge and technical skills. Based on the biomechanics, a suitable restorative design is considered so that the attachment aids in fixation, retention and cross arch stabilization of the prosthesis. In recent years, the use of precision attachments has reinforced both the retention and aesthetic aspects as opposed to the conventional removable partial denture.
