Hybrid prosthetic appliances. 1987

Many partially edentulous situations occur that do not lend themselves to restoration with conventional combination fixed and removable partial dentures. Geriatric patients, as well as patients with congenital and acquired defects, frequently can be best treated with "hybrid prostheses." This article presents an overview of several designs of "hybrid prostheses" and their mechanisms of retention to the abutment teeth.
