Clasp

Clasp (in dentistry) is the part of a denture that holds it in one place. Made from highly flexible metal.

Clasps are used in partial dentures to secure the denture to the patient's remaining teeth. They provide reliable retention of the prosthesis, preventing it from slipping or falling.

Clasps are made from spring steel or precious metals such as gold. They have a special shape - loop-shaped, ring-shaped or rectangular, which allows you to securely grip the abutment tooth.

Properly made and polished clasps do not injure teeth and gums. They should tightly cover the tooth, but without excessive pressure, so as not to disrupt the blood supply to the tissue.

Clasps are an important part of the design of removable dentures. The fixation and retention of the entire prosthesis on the patient’s jaw depends on their quality and correct location.

Clasps (clasps, from the English clasp - clamp, clamping device) are a part of a denture (artificial teeth) that holds it in the mouth and prevents it from falling out. Clasps are made from highly flexible metal alloys. Currently, there are many different types of clasps, which differ in shape, size and material of manufacture.

One of the most common types of clasp is the Bennett clasp. It is a metal plate with hooks that is attached to the crown of the tooth. The artificial teeth are attached to the hooks. The Bennett clasp is made of stainless steel and can be installed on both the front and back teeth.

Another type of clasp is the Clark clasp. It is also made of metal and is attached to the crowns of the teeth. However, the Clark clasp has a more complex design than the Bennett clasp and is used for fixing heavier denture structures.

There are also clasps using ceramic materials. They have a more aesthetic appearance and can be used to secure dentures on the front teeth.

Regardless of the type of clasp, it must be correctly installed by an orthopedic dentist in compliance with all rules and regulations. This guarantees reliable fixation of the denture and patient comfort.

A clasp is a part of a denture (crown, bridge) that is inserted into a tooth and holds it in place. This element is used to fix artificial teeth, bridges and dentures.
A clasp is a metal bracket that is attached to a tooth and a dental crown or bridge is installed on it. It can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic and ceramic. Clasps come in different types depending on their design and shape.
One of the most common types of clasps is the beam clasp. It consists of two parts: upper and lower. The upper part is attached to the tooth, and the lower part is attached to the crown or bridge. Bar clasps are used to secure dentures in the upper and lower jaw.
Another type of clasp is a telescopic clasp. This type of clasp is used to secure dentures that are large in height. The telescopic clasp consists of two tubes, one of which is inserted into the other. This type of clasp is used to secure dentures to the lower jaw.
