Many terms necessary in clasp construction such as strength and retention can be expressed numerically. However, by suitable choice of definitions, they can also be made additive so that calculations are reduced to the simplest procedures of addition and subtraction. The strength of the clasp, for example, can be assessed as the sum of contributions from three components—the clasp, the material, and the tooth. The quality or value ofQof the clasp measures clasp performance and, like strength, is the sum of three quality components, from the clasp, the material, and the tooth.This method gives a means of assessing not merely the over-all performance but, more especially, the relative merits of shape and tapering in clasp design and the suitability of different materials for clasp work.TheQvalue of the material,Qm, can be calculated from published data and offers a framework for future research on clasp materials.
