number of clasps used is determined by classification

A configuration where four abutment teeth are available for clasping when partial denture can be confined within these four clasp, all leverage is neutralized.

In this circumstances, the leverage may be controlled to some degree by creating a triangular pattern of clasp placement

In this circumstances, the clasp exert little neutralizing effect on the leverage induced stresses generated by the base and it must be controlled by some other means

_______________ retention arm makes a flexible thus less stress on the tooth abutment

is defined as two or more parallel, vertical surfaces of abutment teeth, so shaped to direct a prosthesis during placement and removal.
