Rehabilitation of Mandibular Partial Edentulous Arch using Ceka Revax Semi-precision Attachment: A Case Report

Abstract

There are many prosthetic treatments modalities in rehabilitating partially edentulous condition. It is a technically difficult task for any prosthodontist to treat partially edentulous condition because retention and stability are the two main problems. Attachments are available with small interlocking devices which connects prosthesis and abutments which improves retention and stability and esthetics. Ceka attachment can be used to obtain retention and stability for the prosthesis. A 48-year-old-female patient reported to the Department of Prosthodontics, Crown and Bridge with chief complaint of missing teeth with respect to teeth number- 12,13,14, 22,25,26,35,36,37,45,46,47. This case describes rehabilitating maxillary missing teeth and posterior edentulous mandibular arch using semi precision attachment (Ceka Revax Extracoronal Green). Precision attachments have two metal components which form an articulate joint with first component or matrix or keyway which is attached to clinical contours of a cast restoration and the second component of patrix is attached to the removable partial denture. This case required multidisciplinary approach, technical skills and treatment offered showed excellent patient acceptance and also met aesthetic demands too.
