A removable partial denture using an esthetically designed round-rest distal clasp on maxillary anterior abutment teeth: a clinical report.
A round-rest, distal depression clasp is suggested as an esthetic alternative to a conventional clasp for maxillary anterior teeth serving as abutments for a removable partial denture. A lingual round rest provides support for the prosthesis, and a mesiolingual reciprocating plate is present. A split minor connector engages a distal depression for retention. The facial surface of the abutment displays no metal and provides an esthetic result.
