This clinical report describes a modification of the conventional direct retainer design, which incorporates advantages of the dual path partial denture, but with a greater ease of design and fabrication. The main advantage of this technique is minimizing the clasp display on Class III and Class IV removable partial denture prostheses. A clinical example using this design is described.
