Classification of direct retainers
IntracoronalExtracoronal
Clasps• According to construction
– Cast– Wrought wire– Combination
• According to design– Circumferential – Bar type

Intracoronal direct retainers
• Introduced by Herman E.S. Chayes in 1906
• Consists of two components- Matrix (slot)- Patrix (flange)
![Page 7: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Intracoronal direct retainers
Advantages • Elimination of visible
retention and supportsystem
• Better vertical support• Better stimulation of
underlying soft tissues
Disadvantages• Require prepared
abutment and castings• Complicated clinical and
lab procedures• Eventually wear• Difficult to repair and
replace• Least effective on short
tooth

Retentive clasp assemblies
Mechanics of retainer can be understood with two concepts path of insertion and removal, and height of contour

• Prothero’s “cone theory”
• Share common base referred to as greatest diameter of tooth
• Edward kennedy termed as “height of contour”

Retention
The flexibility of the retentive clasp arm may be influenced by
• Length• cross-sectional form• cross-sectional diameter• longitudinal taper• clasp curvature, and • metallurgical characteristics of the alloy.
![Page 18: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Retention
Clasp flexibility increases as clasp length increasesThe mathematical formula for deflection of a uniform cantilever beam. This formula may be expressed as:
D= Ewt34PL3
where D deflection, P = applied force, L = length, E = modulus of elasticity, w =beam width, and t = beam thickness.

Retention
• Location of each retentive clasp terminus relative to the height of contour may be described in two distinct dimensions: (1) a mediolateral or horizontal dimension and (2) an occlusal or vertical dimension.
![Page 23: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Support
• Support is the quality of a clasp assembly thatresists displacement of a prosthesis in an apicaldirection.
• Other elements that contact the abutmentocclusal to the height of contour (e.g., areciprocal element or shoulder of retentive clasp)also may contribute to the support function.
![Page 24: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stability
• Stability is the quality of a clasp assembly thatresists displacement of prosthesis in a horizontaldirection. All framework components that arerigid and contact vertically oriented hard andsoft tissues may contribute to the stability ofprosthesis.

Reciprocation
• Reciprocation is the quality of a clasp assemblythat counteracts lateral displacement of anabutment when the retentive clasp terminuspasses over the height of contour.

Cast circumferential clasp
• Introduced by Nesbitt in 1916• Simple and easy to fabricate• Tooth supported RPD• Advantages • Disadvantages
![Page 30: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Design rules for cast circumferential clasp
• A cast circumferential clasp should originatefrom a portion of the framework that lies abovethe height of contour.
• retentive terminus should be directed occlusally• should terminate at the mesial line angle or
distal line angle of the abutment• The retentive arm should be positioned as far
apically on the abutment as is practical.

Wrought-wire circumferential clasp
• It used as early as 1847, the wrought wirecircumferential clasp
• In 1965, Dr 0. C. Applegate introduced a modifiedwrought wire clasp assembly known as the ‘combinationclasp”.
• consists of an occlusal rest a cast metal reciprocal arm,and a wrought wire retentive arm. The wrought wirecomponent is circular in cross section.
• Kennedy Class I or Class II posterior edentulous areawhen the usable undercut is located at the mesiofacialline angle of the most posterior abutment.
• Increased flexibility hence can be used in the greaterundercut area.
• Minimal tooth surface contact
![Page 36: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Infrabulge clasp
• clasp approaches the undercut region of anabutment from an apical direction. Therefore aninfrabulge clasp exhibits a “push type” ofretention that is more effective than the “pull”retention associated with a suprabulge clasp.
• Flexibility of the infrabulge clasp is controlled bythe taper and length of the approach arm.
• more esthetic than a suprabulge clasp
![Page 37: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Design rules for infrabulge clasp
• The approach arm of an infrabulge clasp mustnot impinge on the soft tissues adjacent to theabutment
• The approach arm should cross perpendicular tothe free gingival margin
• The approach arm should never be designed tobridge an area of soft tissue undercut
• uniform tapering• The clasp terminus should be more apically
positioned on the abutment
![Page 38: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Types of infrabulge calsp
These clasps are described by their geometric shapes. There are four main types of infrabulge clasp.
• T-clasp, • the modified T-clasp, • the Y- clasp, and • the I-clasp or I-bar.
![Page 39: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
T-clasp design
• Kennedy Class I or Class II partially edentulous and undercut is located adjacent to the edentulous area
![Page 40: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Modified T clasp
• The modified T-clasp is essentially a T-clasp that lacks the nonretentive, horizontal projection.
• improved esthetics in most applications
• used when canines or premolars will serve as abutments.
![Page 41: 2(1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020306/5451ca0cb1af9fb9648b45e1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Y-clasp design
• Practically Y clasp is equivalent to a T-clasp
• recontouring of the abutment surface

Indirect Retainer
• The effect achieved by one or more indirectretainers of a partial removable dentureprosthesis that reduces the tendency for adenture base to move in an occlusal direction orrotate about the fulcrum line (GPT-8)
