Principles and planning of removable partial denture designing • First stage– Outlining the saddle area. • Second stage—The support of the saddles • Third stage – The Retention. • Fourth stage –Joining the saddles and retainer units. • Fifth stage –Indirect retention. • Sixth stage– Bracing of the saddles. • Seventh stage– Resistance to anteroposterior movement
RETENSION • Clasping configuration
Occlusally Approaching Clasps • Aker Clasp • Reversed Aker clasp • RPA clasp • Back-Action clasp • Ring Clasp • Compound Clasp • Multiple Clasp • Extended-Arm Clasp
Gingivally-Approaching Clasps • The T-Shape • The U-Shape • The L-Shape • The C-Shape • RPI Clasp
The functional elements of the clasp • 1-The Retentive arm • 2-The Reciprocal arm • 3-The Occlusal rest • 4-The Minor connector
