Objective: To increase retention of overdentures in cleft palate patients by means of heightened telescopic copings with a newly designed attachment. In this study, a "precision attachment" is described to develop the stability and retention of telescopic overdentures.
Case: A cleft palate patient was treated with a newly designed overdenture. Intraoral examination revealed poor tooth structure and retention. Therefore, a new semiprecision attachment was designed in order to increase retention and stabilization.
Conclusion: The patient's tolerance was increased with the new overdenture.

Alar webbing is a functional and aesthetic defect of the nasal structure noted in cleft lip and palate patients (CLP), which is thought to be due to a deficiency in nasal lining tissue. Surgical procedures have previously focused on the removal of lining or alar cartilage leading to worse post-operative defects. This case demonstrates a novel technique of releasing the tissue, followed by using a CAD-CAM splint to help mold the tissue during the healing process to better control esthetics, symmetry, and prevent relapse.
