Abstract:
The indications, design, and advantages of the labial plate major connector as compared with the labial and lingual bar major connector are reviewed. The mechanical principles of increased rigidity and strength are discussed. The article suggests that the labial plate major connector may have an advantage over the labial bar major connector and should be considered when a labial connector is indicated.
