“…Precision attachment is an imbedded locking retainer, one part of which is fixed on the crown, root or implant in the mouth and the other part is connected with the denture and retainers the denture through the high chimerism of the two. It has the advantages of conforming to biological principles and aesthetic appearance of the prosthesis and can better protect abutment and enhance the retention and stability of denture (Smith et al, 2017).…”
