Attachment‐retained removable partial dental prostheses (RPDPs) may be lost. Although in such situations, the RPDP should be remade, no method has yet been described for replacing lost attachment‐retained RPDPs. This report describes a method for fabrication of a replacement for a lost maxillary RPDP using ball‐attachment analogs.
