[Clasp areas as a basis for individually designed prosthetic retention].

The clasp areas of the teeth are analysed with regard to the paths of insertion. The area below the equator is a retention area if the opposite tooth wall is parallel (= classical guiding area) or also cervically curved (= active guiding area). Consequently, the so-called singular independent clasp has either a retention arm and classical guiding or a retention arm and active guiding or two active guiding arms. On the contrary, the anchorage of the dependent clasp requires coordination with other independent or dependent clasps.

[Minimalization of the proper parts of retention arms].

Clasps situated on anterior teeth decrease the aesthetic value of the dental arches and the patients want to have the size of the clasps reduced. The study was carried out for finding out what was the least acceptable size of the retention arms of the clasp. A technique was evolved for designing the minimalized retention arms, and it was established that the proper part of the retention arm must exceed the interspace limit by 1 mm. Further shortening of the clasp was not possible. Minimalization of the arms of the clasp decreased the adverse effects of removable prostheses on oral hygiene.
