Successful restoration of the dentition requires plenty of contemporary and conventional treatment techniques and planning and attachment retained partial dentures are one such kind of treatment modality in prosthodontics. Limited space for extracoronal attachments is a serious gap in the design and the fabrication of a precision attachment Removable Partial Denture (RPD). A custom semi-precision attachment with a partial denture offers strength and improved aesthetics in cases with minimal space. This book presents a method of fabrication of semi-precision attachment to eliminate metal display and enhance aestheticity. A comprehensive evaluation, multi-disciplinary approach and a sequential treatment plan, worked out in harmony with the patient¿s aesthetic demand and perceptions are important for a long-term successful outcome. The CPA is the most conservative treatment option and offers excellent patient acceptance. Its versatility in clinical applications makes it one of the successful designs for RPD.
