The original design of a semi‐precision extra‐coronal attachment for partial dentures is illustrated, and its fabrication in a cast non‐precious bondable alloy is described. A step‐by‐step method is also described of bonding multiple attachments in parallel for the retention and support of removable partial dentures. Clinical cases are illustrated. The results of trials indicate that the method is clinically viable and, in selected cases, appears to offer distinct advantages over existing retention systems.
