FAQ - from a webinar delegate re RPI v Scandinavian denture design system.

Fantastic question from a someone who watched Webinar 2 on partial dentures last week - Really enjoying your seminars these weeks. It is very helpful. Specially since you use the Scandinavian approach to RPD design. I noticed with this approach on Kennedy-I cases, there i no regard for placing a distal rest, but both mesial and distal ones. With a distal rest, there would still be a displacement of the distal extension vertically over the fulcrum line, defeating the purpose of a stress relief clasp. How does this approach protects the stability of the most distal tooth? All the metal reciprocation anteriorly is still indirect retention. Could you help me understand that? Thanks
