The reduction in partial edentulism that has occurred due to successful preventive procedures and the predictable use of osseointegrated implants has reduced the need for removable partial dentures. However, for a variety of reasons, many patients can continue to benefit from partial denture therapy; and these patients deserve the best esthetic result possible. The primary esthetic objection to removable partial denture therapy is the unsightly display of the clasp assemblies. This article describes three strategies that can be used by the discriminating clinician to eliminate the display of the clasp assembly and provide an esthetic and functional removable prosthesis.
由于成功的预防措施以及骨结合种植体的可预测使用，部分牙列缺损的情况有所减少，从而降低了对可摘局部义齿的需求。然而，由于各种原因，许多患者仍可继续从局部义齿治疗中获益；并且这些患者理应获得尽可能最佳的美学效果。对可摘局部义齿治疗的主要美学异议在于卡环组件的不雅外露。本文介绍了三种策略，有鉴别力的临床医生可利用这些策略消除卡环组件的外露，并提供一个美观且功能良好的可摘修复体。
