Clasp dentures are currently very popular among removable dentures.

They are characterized by sufficient strength and durability.

The clasp structure is a metal arc, the saddle part of the prosthesis, to which the artificial teeth are attached.

The one-way clasp prosthesis has a slightly different design, because it is used to restore the end defects of the teeth. It restores teeth on one side of the jaw and has no parts covering the palate.

The one-sided clasp design is attached to the teeth using locks (attachments). Recently, fixing the clasp prosthesis with the help of telescopic crowns is gaining popularity.
