A

mucoperiosteum

25
Q

Large, well formed _____ are capable of withstanding greater loads than are small, thin, or knife edged ridges

A

ridges

26
Q

The more _____ the clasp the less the force to the abutment tooth but the greater the forces to the residual ridge

passive

29
Q

________ clasp must contact the tooth before and while the retentive tip passes over the undercut

A

Reciprocal

30
Q

The longer the clasp the more flexible it is (Double the length will increase flexibility ___ times)

A

5 times

31
Q

A _______ based alloy will exert a greater load on the abutment teeth than will a gold alloy

A

chromium

32
Q

INTERESTING!!! The surface of a ______ restoration offers MORE frictional resistance to clasp arm movement than does the _______ surface of a tooth, therefore a crowned tooth experiences (GREATER/LESSER?) stresses than one with intact enamel!!

A

cast gold…enamel…GREATER
