Introduction: Resin-bonded extracoronal attachments may be indicated for the abutment teeth of removable partial dentures, especially for anterior teeth when a cingulum rest must be provided. This type of treatment has a series of advantages such as minimal tooth reduction, supragingival margins, favourable stress distribution, and improved aesthetic appearance.
Objective: To report a clinical case of oral rehabilitation using a combination of resin-bonded extracoronal attachments joined by a Dolder bar with a removable partial denture.
Case Report: A 60-year-old male patient with only the canines in the maxillary arch was restored with a combination of resin-bonded extracoronal attachments joined by a Dolder bar and a removable partial denture.
Conclusion: Dentures with resin-bonded extracoronal attachments can have a number of advantages over traditional clasp-retained removable partial dentures.

Although patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) are not seen regularly in general dental practice, this is a frequent congenital anomaly; approximately one in every 800 live births results in a CLP. The cause of CLP is unknown, but possible causes are malnutrition and irradiation during pregnancy, psychological stress, teratogenic agents, infectious agents (viruses), and inheritance. Most clefts are likely caused by multiple genetic and nongenetic factors.

Unlabelled: Crown and bridgework has a finite life span and fails for a number of reasons. Removal is often by destructive means. There are a number of clinical circumstances, however, in which a conservative disassembly would aid the practitioner in completing restorative/endodontic procedures.

This clinical report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillary defect with an obturator retained by extracoronal resilient attachments. Resin-bonded cast-metal units were used to retain and stabilize the obturator through abutment contour modification, addition of retentive elements, and primary abutment splinting. The resulting rehabilitation conserved tooth structure and satisfied both esthetic and functional needs.

Resin-bonded metal restorations is the final part of the series. Cast metal restorations which rely on adhesion for attachment to teeth are attractive because of their potential to be much more conservative of tooth structure than conventional crowns which rely on preparation features providing macromechanical resistance and retention.
