Abstract

There is lack of evidence-based knowledge to dominate clinical decision making about attachments for RPDs. Even though the use of attachments in clinical dentistry is very regular, selecting the appropriate attachment for a particular case can sometimes be a challenge. In this chapter, a brief classification of attachments, attachments’ resilience capacities, step-by-step detailed clinical cases and clinical hints in decision making are explained.
