Removable partial dentures are one of
the most common treatment methods
for rehabilitation of partial edentulism.
However, due to their design with major connector, they cover a vast
area in the mouth and this makes the denture difficult to be accepted
by patients. Unilateral removable dentures are an important treatment
alternative in the presence of unilateral edentulism. However, confi-
dence in these denture are very low, especially in terms of retention
and stability. These dentures can be designed with clasps, precision
attachment or they can be supported by dental implant. The use of
precision attachment is helpful in avoiding problems. In particular,
selection of the right attachment and the system has a direct effect
on the prognosis of the treatment. Dental implants can also be used
to increase the success of unilateral removable partial dentures. With
the placement of implant in the correct position the success of these
dentures increase.
