Precision Attachment One Solution, Two Situations: A Versatile Prosthetic Approach
When it comes to dental treatment, one size doesn’t fit all. At Neevwellbeing: The Dental Clinic, we believe in tailoring solutions that not only solve present concerns but also anticipate future needs. A recent case involving Ms. Yasmeen Aditya led by Dr. Anish Shetty beautifully illustrates how modern prosthodontics can provide immediate comfort while being adaptable for tomorrow.
Case Background: Patient’s Concerns
Ms. Yasmeen visited our Vakola clinic under the care of Dr. Anish Shetty with two main concerns:
Pain in her upper left back tooth (#27)
Desire to replace a missing lower right back tooth (#46) to restore her ability to chew and smile with confidence.
During her consultation, a detailed clinical and radiographic examination was carried out by Dr. Shetty. The findings were:
Tooth #27: Diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis (a painful infection of the tooth’s nerve).
Tooth #47: Showed Grade II mobility, usually requiring extraction.
Tooth #46: Already missing, requiring replacement with a prosthesis.
While extraction of tooth #47 was recommended, Ms. Yasmeen preferred to avoid it. Respecting her wishes, Dr. Shetty crafted a conservative yet future-ready plan.
Crafting a Personalized Treatment Plan
Under Dr. Anish Shetty’s expertise, the treatment plan combined both immediate relief and long-term flexibility:
Root canal therapy (RCT) on tooth #27 to eliminate pain and save the tooth.
Rehabilitation of missing tooth #46 using a precision attachment prosthesis.
Designed to restore function and aesthetics immediately.
Adaptable in case tooth #47 required extraction in the future.
This smart, forward-thinking plan showcased Dr. Shetty’s ability to balance patient comfort with clinical foresight.
Step-by-Step Clinical Procedure by Dr. Shetty
1. Saving Tooth #27
A root canal procedure was performed on tooth #27, removing infection and preserving the natural tooth structure.
2. Preparing the Abutment Teeth (#44 & #45)
Endodontic therapy (RCT) was performed on teeth #44 and #45.
These teeth were prepared to support PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crowns.
The male component of the precision attachment was integrated into these crowns.
3. Designing the Prosthesis
A precise impression was taken.
The removable partial denture trial was done to check fit, comfort, and bite.
Occlusion was carefully adjusted for smooth chewing.
4. Final Placement
The precision attachment prosthesis was successfully inserted. It offered a natural look, excellent function, and the reassurance that it could adapt if further changes were needed.
Follow-Up and Results
At the three-month follow-up, under Dr. Shetty’s care, Ms. Yasmeen reported:
Comfort and satisfaction with her prosthesis.
No pain or difficulty in chewing.
High confidence in her restored smile.
Clinical evaluation confirmed the prosthesis was stable, aesthetic, and functioning perfectly.
