These conditions impair all functions of the dentoalveolar system and lead to a range of physical and psychological complications. When addressing dentition defects, one of the treatment options may be a properly fabricated removable partial denture, as well as a combined removable prosthesis with attachment systems. Such a design is particularly relevant for patients who seek to obtain a functional and esthetic dental prosthesis with reliable fixation and for whom treatment involving dental implants is not feasible due to anatomical features, general health status, financial limitations, or psychological considerations. Combined removable dentures with precision attachments demonstrate the most favorable outcomes in the prosthetic rehabilitation of dentition defects. These designs provide minimal invasiveness and reversibility of treatment, enable physiological redistribution of masticatory load between abutment teeth and the oral mucosa, unite preserved teeth into a single functional system, restore masticatory and speech function, and exhibit high esthetic performance along with other substantial advantages. At the same time, achieving optimal retention remains a key requirement for long-term and comfortable use of prosthetic constructions. The type of retention element plays a decisive role in ensuring prosthesis stability; therefore, the development of new fixation methods for combined removable prostheses remains a relevant challenge.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Частичное отсутствие зубов и дефекты зубных рядов являются следствием развития кариеса и его осложнений, а также заболеваний пародонта и относятся к числу наиболее распространённых стоматологических заболеваний в России и во всём мире. При этом нарушаются все функции зубочелюстного аппарата, что приводит к развитию ряда осложнений как физического, так и психологического характера. При решении задачи восстановления дефектов зубных рядов одним из вариантов выбора может быть качественно изготовленный дуговой протез, а также комбинированный протез на замковых креплениях. Такая конструкция особенно актуальна для пациентов, стремящихся получить функциональный и эстетичный зубной протез с надёжной фиксацией, для которых лечение с применением имплантатов невозможно в силу анатомических особенностей, состояния общего здоровья, финансовых ограничений либо по психологическим соображениям. Наилучшие результаты при протезировании дефектов зубных рядов демонстрируют комбинированные протезы с аттачменами. Данные конструкции обеспечивают минимальную инвазивность и обратимость лечения, физиологично перераспределяют жевательную нагрузку между опорными зубами и слизистой оболочкой полости рта, объединяют сохранённые зубы в единую функциональную систему, восстанавливают функции жевания и речи, обладают высокими эстетическими характеристиками и рядом других значимых преимуществ. В то же время актуальным остаётся вопрос достижения оптимальной фиксации как обязательного условия долгосрочной и комфортной эксплуатации ортопедической конструкции. Тип фиксирующего элемента имеет решающее значение в обеспечении удержания протеза, в связи с чем сохраняет актуальность проблема разработки новых способов фиксации комбинированных протезов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>removable partial denture</kwd><kwd>cast metal framework denture</kwd><kwd>combined removable dentures</kwd><kwd>dentures retention</kwd><kwd>prosthodontic treatment</kwd><kwd>dentition defects</kwd><kwd>review</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>дуговой протез</kwd><kwd>бюгельный протез</kwd><kwd>комбинированный протез</kwd><kwd>фиксация протеза</kwd><kwd>ортопедическое лечение</kwd><kwd>дефекты зубных рядов</kwd><kwd>обзор</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Schwendicke F, Nitschke I, Stark H, et al.
