Abstract

Dental attachments, including dental implant attachments, when not in use can cause biological complications intraorally like soreness of lips, the floor of the mouth, tongue, or cheeks. The article describes an appliance designed for patients experiencing these complications. The described soft-hard tissue guard is newly designed and to be worn by the patient when attachments are not in use for retaining a prosthesis. The aim of this article is to describe the process of fabrication, advantages, disadvantages, and requirements of an attachment retained soft-hard tissue guard by means of a case report.
