Precision partial denture attachments designed to attach the partial denture to receptacles that are connected to dental implants and/or tooth-root (radicular or intraradicular) studs. These attachments are typically two-component devices that attach to each other with a high degree of precision: one component is fixed to the abutment (usually a dental implant) and a second component is an integral part of a partial denture. Rigid and resilient attachments are available that permit a slight vertical, hinging, and/or rotational movement as the patient bites. Magnetic-coupled fixed implant attachments are also available.
