There are two main types of partial denture attachments: Non-resilient (rigid) and Resilient attachments.

Non-resilient (rigid) Attachments:

Non-resilient attachments are highly stable connectors with very slight movement in function. Some may be used for segmenting fixed partial dentures to simplify future case conversion to a removable restoration. In distal extension partial denture cases, occlusal forces are directed relatively evenly to both the abutment teeth and the edentulous ridge. Therefore, rigid attachments are kinder to the edentulous ridge than are resilient attachments. When abutment teeth are stable, rigid attachments are often the connectors of choice.

Resilient Attachments:

Resilient attachments are stress directing attachments for Kennedy Class I and II cases which place occlusal load on both abutment teeth and the edentulous ridge. The ridge is more heavily loaded than when using rigid attachments, while the abutment teeth are more lightly loaded.
