School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract 

This clinical report describes a procedure for influencing the esthetics of a Kennedy Class III-Modification 1 removable partial denture. The acrylic resin base is eliminated, and the retentive clasp placed on the first premolars is modified. This technique is simple and inexpensive, and in the treatment presented, it resulted in complete patient satisfaction. (J Prosthet Dent 2001;86:465-7.)
