Esthetic appearance of the artificial tooth located upon the attachment

The esthetic and functional rehabilitation of the partially edentulous patient can be successfully realized using fixed and removable partial dentures retained and supported with precision attachments. The attachment often presents the problem of restricted vertical space above, so the appearance of the artificial tooth located upon it is the most difficult problem to solve for both the clinician and technician.
