Class III RPDs can best resist the forces to which they are subjected because they are completely tooth-supported with abutment teeth on both sides of each edentulous space. This bilateral tooth support provides excellent resistance to all directional forces, unlike Class I, II, and IV which have tissue-supported components.

#9 Prosthodontics
Before altering the abutment contour for clasp retention, it is essential to establish the guiding planes. This is done by disking the proximal surfaces of the abutment teeth to create a flat, smooth surface that will guide the RPD during insertion and removal. Once the guiding planes are in place, the contour of the abutment can be altered to accommodate the placement of the retentive elements such as rests and minor connectors.
Tap for Question
Answer
First step in altering the abutment contour for clasp retention in RPD is
1) Placement of guiding planes after disking the proximal surfaces
2) Placement of occlusal rests after reducing the occlusal surface
3) Planning for placement of clasps after reducing the proximal surfaces
4) The abutment tooth is not contoured unless it is short
