A clasp design that can be employed for abutment teeth on extension base removable partial dentures has been presented. The clasp referred to as an RPI clasp retainer minimizes tooth coverage and reduces stress on the abutment tooth. This same design may also be used to advantage on all toothborne removable partial dentures.
