Etched castings as an adjunct to mouth preparation for removable partial dentures

Effects of Long‐Term Simulated RPD Clasp Attachment/Detachment on Retention Loss and Wear for Two Clasp Types and Three Abutment Material Surfaces

“…Retention of RPDs is accomplished by placing clasp parts into undercuts on abutment teeth. When a natural undercut cannot be located with a surveyor, it may be created artificially by crowns, a class V restoration, recontouring of enamel (dimpling or altering the height of contour), or recontouring with composite resin 5–10 …”

Use of resin‐bonded extracoronal attachments with removable partial denture: case report

“…to distribute vertical and horizontal forces from the denture to the abutment teeth during function 7 , splint abutment teeth 3,7 , provide anterior support for the denture using a Dolder bar 3 , restore the occlusal plane, and to develop more ideal guide planes which will favour a single path of insertion, alter tooth contour in order to create retentive areas for clasps, and prevent dislodgment of buccal abutment teeth 3,7 . to distribute vertical and horizontal forces from the denture to the abutment teeth during function 7 , splint abutment teeth 3,7 , provide anterior support for the denture using a Dolder bar 3 , restore the occlusal plane, and to develop more ideal guide planes which will favour a single path of insertion, alter tooth contour in order to create retentive areas for clasps, and prevent dislodgment of buccal abutment teeth 3,7 .…”

“…These retainers have been recommended as an alternative for abutment teeth of removable partial dentures, permitting the placement of rests and retentive clasps on the anterior teeth at sites that do not interfere with aesthetic appearance, thus making rehabilitation more acceptable to patients [2][3][4][5][6] .

Maxillary Rehabilitation Using Fixed and Removable Partial Dentures with Attachments: A Clinical Report

“…In addition to clasps used to prevent the dislodgment of RPDs from the rest position during functional movements, devices such as adhesive attachments, crowns, and FPDs with intra‐ or extracoronal attachments, telescopes, root‐caps, and/or prefabricated intraradicular retainers may also be used to retain these prostheses . Attachments are classified as semiprecision and precision devices.…”
