An analytical model to design circumferential clasps for laser-sintered removable partial dentures

Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are essential cost-effective components of the dental prosthesis industry. They are used to restore missing teeth in partially edentulous patients, improving their quality of life. Millions of patients are affected by this treatment worldwide; over 13% of the adult population in North America and Europe wear RPDs [1].
