Q

(T/F) Mesial rest of the RPI system mitigates stress on the abutment tooth better than proximal rest

A

T

RPI System = Occlusal Rest, Distal Guide Plane, Gingivally approaching I bar
- basically udw the rest to be on the distal side then the tooth tilts distally & happens easily also cuz theres no adjacent tooth
