Abstract
Precision and semi-precision attachments have been
utilized in fixed partial prostheses for many years. A
review of the dental literature reveals a lack of clinical
and laboratory information and their use in specific
situations therefore must have been empiricly established .
The purpose of this research was to contribute to the
establishment of either a sound rationale for the use of
precision attachments or, conversely, to an indictment of
them based on factual testing under simulated clinical
conditions. [TRUNCATED]
