Comparison of Retention of Clasps Made of Different Materials Using Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis.

Introduction: Retention and esthetics are believed to play a crucial role in deciding the success of removable partial dentures.

Aim: To compare retention of acetal resin and cobalt-chromium clasps.

Materials And Methods: A finite element model was designed with an edentulous space between mandibular right second premolar and second molar.
