The reciprocal clasp arm is designed to
counteract the forces exerted by the retentive clasp arm during
insertion and removal of a removable partial denture (RPD). It should be placed on the lingual surface of the abutment
tooth. The correct position is at the junction of the middle and
gingival thirds of the tooth. This ensures: Stability against lateral forces. Reciprocation to balance the retentive clasp. Comfort and minimal interference with
occlusion. Retentive clasp arm → placed in the gingival third
(below the height of contour). Reciprocal clasp arm → placed in the middle third or
at the junction of middle and gingival thirds (above the height of contour). Together, they provide retention + reciprocation for
functional balance.

resulting in radiographic appearance of infolding of enamel into the pulp
chamber.

Pharmacology
Carbonic anhydrase is found in erythrocytes, kidney, gut, ciliary body, choroid plexus, and glial cells.
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used primarily as probes for studying renal transport mechanisms and in the treatment of glaucoma
When used to treat glaucoma, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors diminish the transport of HCO3 - and Na+ by the ciliary process, which limits intraocular pressure.
This reduces the formation of aqueous humor by up to 50%, thereby reducing the intraocular pressure. These agents can also limit CSF and endolymph formation.
