What are 5 Disadvantages of RBDFP?
- Not “non-invasive”
- Anterior esthetics difficult
- Limited indications: Occlusion, restorative space
- Limited long-term data
- Debonding problems
The ratio of the occlusocervical/incisocervical dimension of a prepared tooth to the faciolingual dimension should be at least _____ or higher for all teeth
0.4 mm
For removable, what would you consider for an abutment if the crown-root ratio is less than 1:1?
Consider overdenture abutment
What happens when you have a B contact only?
Maxillary teeth move lingually, mandibular teeth move buccally
What are 4 advantages of Cusp to Fossa Occlusion?
- Forces in line with the long axis of teeth
- Eliminates the “plunger cusp” effect
- Greater stability to the dental arch
- Less tendency towards tooth mobility
Describe the Double String Retraction Technique…

- Better screw mechanics
- Better esthetics
- Easier to develop occlusion
- Correct implant malposition
- More passive fit
Regarding alginate properties, what is the best way to control the setting time?
Water Temp

What happens when you remove alginate from an undercut?
It gets compressed
What is a Metamerism?
Seemlingly same color but appear different under a different light source
