  1. RETENTIVE COMPONENTS OF URA

  2. Retentive components • Clasps • Adam’s clasp • C-clasp (Circumferential clasp) • Lingual extension clasp • Ball clasp

  3. Adam’s Clasp • The most useful clasp in removable appliances. • It is designed to engage the MB, DB undercuts of posterior teeth. • Advantage, it does not separate teeth and has excellent retention.

  4. Fabrication of Adam’s Clasp • Components of Adam’s Clasp • 1- Arrow heads • 2- Bridge • 3- Tags • 4- Retentive parts • It is made of 0.7 mm diameter hard St. round wire

  5. Adam’s Clasp • Design modifications Long bridge One arrow head Solder a HG tube to the bridge Solder hook to he bridge

  6. Adjustment of Adam’s clasp • 1. To tighten/loosen: Adjust the arrowhead to grip the undercut of the tooth. Hold arrowhead with pliers at A and bend using finger inwards in direction shown.

  7. 2. To adjust the height: Hold adams clasp wire the wire exits the acrlyic at pint B and bend the wire up or down to adjust verical position of arrowhead.

  8. Retentive component • Circumferential clasp • Useful for second molars and canines • Easier to keep it out from occlusal contact • It is only supportive, not as retentive as Adam’s clasp • It can be adequate for a retainer, but not for an active appliance

  9. Retentive component • Ball Clasp • It like Adam, extends across the embrasure • Uses buccal undercuts for retention • Easy to fabricate • It is stiff that could not be extended deep into the undercuts

  10. Retentive component • Lingual Extension Clasp • It works only from the lingual aspect without crossing the occlusal surface or embrasures • Short loop of (0.4 mm) wire • Can be placed in the first molar second premolar lingual embrasure • Difficult to adjust • Break easily • May cause tissue irritation • Can separate teeth if active • Can be used for retainers, • not for active appliance
