The purpose of this paper is to report on one of the possibilities of aesthetical solution of subtotal anodontia by means of a partial flat denture.Rehabilitation was carried out on a patient with selected subtotal anodontia sample by a combined fixed-mobile partial flat denture. Used as elements for the flat partial denture were attachments (interdental crossbars). Applied in the methodology of work were known clinical principles while the attachment building-in technique was done in keeping with the manufacturer's instructions.
The results obtained point to the possibility of resolving the subtotal anodontia by means of the partial flat denture without using hooks as standard retention elements.
The dentures made in this way are impressive due to their aesthetic values and are very stable. 

Key words: partial flat denture, subtotal anodontia, retention,  aesthetics, interdental crossbars
