Repair of Extracoronal Direct Retainers

Abstract

ABSTRACT Fractures of the clasp components of removable partial dentures are commonly encountered problems in the dental office. Repair or replacement procedures are therefore, often required and may be preferred over refabrication of the entire prosthesis when it is possible to maintain the denture to serve its purpose of function, esthetics and comfort after repair. This paper reviews various procedures that can be used to repair or replace clasp components in order to produce a clinically acceptable result. How to cite this article Amin BM, Aras MA.
