In the design of cast circumferential clasps, the retentive terminal should ideally point away from the gingiva (toward the occlusal surface) to allow for proper engagement and retention without causing trauma to the gingival tissue.
Explanation: In bilateral balanced occlusion, if the incisal guidance is steep, it is necessary to create a compensating curve that is also steep to maintain balanced occlusion during lateral movements. This helps to ensure that the occlusal contacts remain balanced and stable, preventing tipping or dislodgment of the denture during function. The other options do not adequately address the need for balance in occlusion.
Before registering face bow transfer, it is necessary to determine terminal hinge axis opening.
