SANCHEZ Y, Andrés Eloy; VIEIRA N, Jorge  y  ARENAS R, Desirée. Consideraciones esteticas en el diseño de retenedores directos de Protesis parciales removibles. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2001, vol.39, n.1, pp.37-53. ISSN 0001-6365.

The lack of esthetics produced by the clasps in the removable partial denture should be minimized thru adequate analysis and design. One way to achieve more esthetics is eliminating the retentive clasps, using precision or semiprecision attachments. This paper analyses the esthetics in the clasps, clasification and indications of the attachments in the removable partial denture.
