As removable partial dentures (RPDs) age, loss of retention is a common complaint. When a patient is not ready to replace their RPD, cast metal and wrought wire clasps can be adjusted to re-engage the undercut. In addition to pliers, boomerang-shaped clasp adjusters have joined the armamentarium for re-engaging RPD clasps. In this tip video, Dr. Wendy AuClair gives a quick demonstration on how to utilize this tool.
