Q

How do clasps work?

A

Provide direct retention by engaging the undercut portion of a tooth
The action of a clasp must be resisted by either a non-retentive clasp arm above the maximum bulbosity or by a reciprocal connector

18
Q

What is Craddock Class 1?

A

Tooth borne - hard tissue resistance to occlusal loading

19
Q

What is Craddock Class 2?

A

Mucosa borne - large coverage provides resistance to loading

20
Q

What is Craddock Class 3?

A

Tooth and mucosa borne - hard tissue and large coverage in case of fewer teeth and large edentulous saddles

21
Q

What is the RPI system?

A

Stress relieving clasp system used in free-end saddle designs to prevent stress on the last abutment tooth

22
Q

What makes up the RPI system?

A

Rest
Proximal plate
I-bar clasp

23
Q

Describe the rest in the RPI system

A

Mesial to the tooth, rounded on the impression surface

24
Q

Describe the proximal plate in the RPI system

A

Guide surface 2-3mm, undercut to permit movement

25
Q

Describe the I-bar clasp in the RPI system

A

Greatest prominence of the tooth contour
