“…A search for an attachment with ideal properties started long before the introduction of osseointegrated implants 17–23 . Initially used in overdentures or in fixed‐removable combination cases, attachments had to possess certain properties to compensate for the inherent differences in support provided by the resilient mucosa and teeth or later implants 46,47…”

Management of partially edentulous patients can still be a prosthodontic challenge. Replacing the missing teeth with conventional removable partial dentures (RPDs) is the traditional method for the treatment of partial edentulism; however, there are many potential disadvantages associated with traditional RPDs. With the advent of osseointegrated dental implants, possibilities of prosthetic reconstruction for partial edentulism are endless. This article discusses the implant-retained partial overdenture (IRPOD) with resilient attachments as a predictable and cost-effective treatment for partially edentulous patients.
