Abstract: | A unilateral complete dentition with tight intercuspal contacts complicates the design of the interocclusal retentive elements of a cast removable partial denture. Use of an Adams clasp, which is connected to a predesigned retentive mesh in the metal framework, is suggested as a conservative and economical treatment option in this situation. Guidelines for minimizing the risk of breakage of the Adams clasp are presented. |
