Design principles

1. Keep design simple

2. Keep acrylic away from gingival margins as far as possible
3. Use Wrought clasps for retention where possible
4. Maximum coverage in distal extension saddles
5. Narrower and shorter occlusal table in distal extension
saddles
6. Polished surface should be shaped correctly to enhance
retention and stability by muscular forces
7. Place teeth in neutral zone (distal extension saddle cases)
