Abstract

Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
The objective of this clinical report is to describe a fabrication technique for a modified Equipoise clasp-retained removable dental prosthesis as an alternative esthetic clasp option when abutment teeth are visible during smiling or speaking. The use of surveyed crowns on abutment teeth with mesial reciprocating grooves, milled lingual ledges, and distobuccal undercuts facilitates the use of a modified Equipoise clasp, providing a viable treatment option in esthetically demanding cases.
