The double triangular clasp |
| |
| Function: |
Retention for the first molar if the second molar is missing |
| |
| |
The double triangular clasp consists of two triangles which are interconnected as in the Adams clasp. |
|
 |
| |
| |
The triangles should be aligned to the occlusal plane in order to make activation possible. |
|
 |
| |
| |
In the mixed dentition, this clasp is fitted appropriately on the first permanent molar but it can also serve as a retention element on other teeth. |
