Effect of clasp type and pullout location on clasp retention in different environment: In vitro study

Abstract: Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of pullout location and clasp types in two different environments to dislodge the clasp.Materials and Methods:Mandibular test models with natural premolars and molar teeth were used to test four types of clasp (each 12) (Akers, Rest plate Akers, Half and Half, and Ring clasp) with three different pullout location for each type (ring on the rest, loop on the saddle, and wax arising from both rests) in dry and natural fresh saliva environment.… Show more

“…This pattern of dislodging forces mimics the direction of the forces acting on RPD in the patient mouth. (50) The differences observed in the retention forces prior to thermo-cycling are probably due to the different modulus of elasticity of the materials. (Elastic modulus; 2.4 GPa for Acetal and 4.0 GPa for Peek) Thus, the greater modulus of elasticity of the material means less flexibility and greater retention force toward the Peek clasp group.…”

“…[1] Newer dental technologies, allow the fabrication of RPD with satisfactory mechanical, esthetical, functional, and biological outcomes with no or minimal periodontal tissue problems. [2,3] In free end saddle RPDs clasps are the basic mean of retention and it must be designed in a manner to provide maximal retention without harmful tipping or rotational forces on the abutment teeth. [3,4] Clasp assembly should meet six basic requirements in order to perform its function safely: retention, stability, support, reciprocation, encirclement, and passivity.…”

“…As a general rule, the amount of retention required to dislodge the RPD from the supporting structure should always be the minimum necessary to resist reasonable dislodging forces. Excessive force from the clasps may cause many problems [4]. Circumferential clasps are the most frequently used direct retainers, and long term success of RPD depends on properties of clasps [5].…”
