Abstract:
The fit of clasps was assessed in 101 removable partial dentures (RPD), including 54 free-end prostheses without any tooth bound replacements and 47 tooth bound prostheses replacing only premolars and molars. The age and the design of the RPD had a significant influence on the fit: in older and in stress broken free-end RPD's the clasps had a worse fit in terms of standing away from the abutment tooth.
