Sumario:The free-end removable partial dentures (RPD) shows a complicated and peculiar biomechanical behavior that impose high occlusion forces to the abutment teeth. By this way, the aim of this study was to evaluate the several factors that influence the clasps indication to free-end RPD. It was analysed 84 designed and planned study models of 71 patients, involving 130 clasps near-by a free-end; followed by clinical and radiographical informations. It was observed that bar clasps (“T”, “Tmod”, “i”) were used in 88.46% of abutment teeth. In the others (11.55%), it was used simple, combinated or ring circumferential clasps, and MDL. In abutment teeth with high equator line the “i” clasps were predominant (48.48%). The “Tmod” clasps were predominant in abutment teeth with low equator line (50%) or in middle third (51.35%) and “T” clasps were predominant in inclined equators with mesio-buccal (56.52%) or disto-buccal (66.66%) retention. In the posterior abutment teeth, it was prevalent the distal rest (63.52%) and embracing to the adjacent tooth. Some others factors like long clinical crown (5.38%), wrong position of abutment teeth (4.61%), aesthetics (3.07%), retention in alveolar ridge (2.3%), fragility of abutment teeth (1.53%), short clinical crown (0.76%) and short space to the clasp (0.76%) influenced directly during the clasps selection. Factors like mobility of abutment teeth, height of muscular insertions, depth of buccal fornix and antagonist arch acted like secondary factors. After the informations analysis it may be concluded that the bar clasps with distal rest and embracing to the adjacent tooth were the most indicated to free-end RPD
