[Presentation of an esthetic clasp].
The purpose of this article is to present a new cast clasp's design: the retentive clasp element will be shifted from the vestibular to the oral surface of the abutment tooth; at the same time, both the appertaining reciprocal component and the occlusal rest will be combined into a new element: an "occlusal arm rest". This comes up to esthetic demands sufficiently, without any functional reduction. The esthetic clasp design can especially be applied to premolars and molars, on the proviso that there are sufficient undercuts on the oral side and good dental hygienics of the patient.
