Commonly used, commercially available dental wires have been evaluated and ranked through stress-relaxation testing to given the clinician a basis for determining their use as retentive clasp arms. Clinical laboratory principles relative to the use of wire clasp arms have been discussed. Clinical experience with the cobalt-chrome-nickel wire retentive clasp arms used in the infrabulge approach over the last 8 years has been rewarding. These wire clasps have been every bit as effective as the cast bar clasps and have proven to be superior in terms of adjustability and resistance to fracture. The relation of active clasp length to retention and permanent deformation is a crucial one and should be a component of every philosophy of design and construction of removable partial dentures.
