Fabrication of semi-precision attachment using a pen refill

Abstract

Prefabricated attachments are routinely preferred as they are more precise, but sometimes, due to cost factor and unavailability of the exact size of the attachment required, it is difficult to use. This article describes a case report, which highlights the technique of the fabrication of semi-precision attachment using a pen refill and sprue wax for long-span fixed partial denture in a very cheap cost and with good fit and accuracy.
