Question 130 (part 2) · LDEK · Cast partial dentures

Fixative function of clasps in cast removable dentures depends on:

3) introductory path;
4) clasp structure;
5) type of dental loss.

  1. A. 1,3,4.
  2. B. 2,3,5.
  3. C. 1,4,5.
  4. D. 1,2,4.

Clasp retention comes from the undercut it engages relative to a chosen path of insertion and from the mechanical properties of the clasp itself.
