18
Q

–Resist horizontal displacement
–Areas above the survey line
–All rigid components of direct retainer

A

Stability

19
Q

The class assembly should provide Encirclement of more than ____ degrees
–May be continuous or broken
–Minimum of 3 points used
–Prevents tooth from moving away from the clasp

A

180

20
Q

–The component that contact tooth at same time or sooner than retentive clasp
–Remain in contact while retentive tip passes over height of contour
–Resist retentive tip lateral forces
–Requires parallel surface to path of insertion

A

Reciprocation

21
Q

–Components of direct retainer exert no force when fully seated

A

Passivity

22
Q

–Resists displacement of RPD away from supporting tissues
–Area below survey line: ideally in gingival 1/3
•Clasp arm tip: Terminal 1/3 below survey line

A

Retention

23
Q

_____ clasps should become active ONLY when disclosing forces are applied to them.
•Their ability to provide retention is based on the resistance of the metal to deformation.

A

Retentive

24
Q

If there is more length on the retentive clasp, is it more or less flexible?

A

More flexible

25
Q

If there is more diameter on the retentive clasp, is it more or less flexible?

A

Less flexible

26
Q

Is a round clasp or half-round clasp more flexible?

A

Round

27
Q

-material for clasps
‣Produce by drawing metal through dies of smaller diameter
‣Most flexible of all clasps

A

Wrought wire

28
Q

______ clasp:
–Approaches undercut from above the survey line
–“Pulls” toward occlusal to resist displacement

A

Circumferential clasp

29
Q

______ clasp:
–Approaches undercut from below survey line–“Pushes” toward occlusal to resist displacement–Easier to seat, more difficult to remove than circumferential clasp

A

Bar clasp

30
Q

_____ clasp:
•Must be rigid
•Shaped different than flexible retentive clasp•Not tapered

A

Reciprocal Clasp

31
Q

______ is the means by which one part of the framework opposes the action of the retainer in function.

A

Reciprocation

32
Q

•Most logical clasp for tooth-supported RPD (Class III)
•Advantages
–Excellent stabilization, support, bracing
–Easiest to design & construct
–Easier to repair
•Disadvantages
–Covers more tooth surface: more conducive to caries by more plaque retention
–Increases tooth circumference
•May cause greater occlusal force exerted on tooth
–More difficult to adjust

A

Circumferential clasp

33
Q

Clasp kept as_____ on crown as survey line permits
–Less torquing action on tooth
–Less interference with occlusion
–If survey line is too high, enamel surface must be recontoured to lower the survey line
–Survey line too low, Surveyed crown required

A

Low

34
Q

Should retentive clasp be whole round or half round?

A

1/2 round

35
Q
  • In middle 1/3of tooth

* Above the survey line

A

–Proximal 2/3

36
Q
  • In gingival 1/3•Below survey line

* Tip curves to occlusal

A

–Terminal retentive 1/3

37
Q 
\_\_\_\_ clasp
–Cast ½ round
–Entire clasp in middle 1/3
–Above the survey line
•If survey line too high, must recontour
•Prepare surface parallel to path of insertion–No taper: Uniform width 1.5 –2.0 mm
A

•Reciprocal clasp

38
Q
  • Circumferential clasp of choice Class III RPD

* Engage undercut remote from edentulous area

A

Circlet

39
Q

•2 circlet clasps joined at body
•Used when retainer is necessary in a dentate area
–Class III with no modification space
–Class II with no modification space
–Class IV
•Requires heavy reduction of abutment teeth for adequate clasp bulk
–Inadequate preparation, clasp fracture common

A

Embrasure Clasp

40
Q

•Engage undercut adjacent to edentulous area Class III RPD
•Covers extensive tooth surface, increased caries risk
•Difficult to fabricate
•Indication: Mesially-tipped mandibular molar with mesiofacial undercut
–½ T preferred for this situation, if no tissue undercut at approach arm
•“Last choice” for mesially-tipped molars

A

Reverse Circlet (Hairpin Clasp)

41
Q
  • Indication: Mesiolingually-tipped mandibular molars Class III RPD
  • Engage mesiolingual undercut
  • Auxiliary bracing arm for reciprocity
  • Additional occlusal rest: –support, prevent further mesial movement
  • Avoid if possible
  • Incorrect Ring clasp: No reciprocation No support
A

Ring Clasp

42
Q

•Indication:
Retentive undercut adjacent to edentulous space
–Class III RPD
–Tooth-tissue supported RPD (Class I or II distal extension)
–½ T bar clasp preferred, if no tissue undercut at approach arm
•Difficult to obtain adequate occlusal clearance
•Avoid, if possible

A

Reverse Circlet Clasp

43
Q

•Wrought round wire retentive clasp
•Cast ½ round reciprocal clasp
•Indication: Distal extension RPD(Class I & II)
–Mesial rest not possible, distal rest must be used
–Mesiofacial undercut
•Wrought wire soldered to framework

A

Combination Clasp

44
Q

•Indication: –Class I, II RPDs–Mesiofacial retentive undercut•Circumferential retentive clasp–Cast ½ round (ALWAYS) except in periodontally compromised teeth, cast round.•Reciprocation:–Distal proximal plate–ML minor connector

A
