Question 5

partially edentulous

Answer 5

dental arch in which one or more but not all of the natural teeth are missing. lower self image decreased quality of life reduce daily fxn

Question 6

study casts

Answer 6

absolute necessity in considering any prothesis: accurate reproduction of the teeth and adjacent tissue

Question 7

ideal treatment plan

Answer 7

the best, most preferred type of treatment for each of the patient’s problems. may not take into account patient modifiers or the patient’s treatment objectives

Question 8

modified treatment plan

Answer 8

balanced w/ patient’s treatment objectives w/ those treatment objectives of the clinician need to explain the pros of the ideal and the cons of the less than ideal plan - this is necessary in order to obtain true informed consent from the patient overall need to convey: practical for this patient

Question 9

Answer 9

any tooth or dental implant that supports and/or retains a dental prosthesis

Question 10

abutment teeth - “double duty”

Answer 10

function and maintain arch integrity support the removable partial denture

Question 11

kennedy classification

Answer 11

allowed visualization of the type of partially edentulous arch being considered permitted differentiation between tooth-supported and tooth-tissue supported partial dentures serve as a guide to the type of design to be used universally accepted

Question 12

kennedy classification I

Answer 12

bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to natural teeth

Question 13

kennedy classification II

Answer 13

a unilateral edentulous area located posterior to remaining natural teeth

Question 14

kennedy classification III

Answer 14

a unilateral edentulous area w/ natural teeth remaining both anterior and posterior to it

Question 15

kennedy classification IV

Answer 15

a single, but bilateral (crossing the midline), edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth (tooth borne)

Question 16

Rule 1 for applying kennedy’s classification

Answer 16

classification should follow not precede any extractions of teeth that might alter the original classification

Question 17

Rule 2 for applying kennedy’s classification

Answer 17

if a third molar is missing and not to be replaced, it is not considered in the classification

Question 18

Rule 3 for applying kennedy’s classification

Answer 18

if a third molar is present and is to be used as an abutment, it is considered in the classification

Question 19

Rule 4 for applying Kennedy’s classification

Answer 19

if a second molar is missing, and is not to be replaced, it is not considered in the classification

Question 20

Rule 5

Answer 20

the most posterior edentulous area (or areas) always determines the classification

Question 21

Rule 6

Answer 21

edentulous areas other than those determining the classification are referred to as modifications and are designated by their number

Question 22

Rule 7

Answer 22

the extent of the modification is not considered only the number of additional edentulous areas

Question 23

Rule 8

Answer 23

there can be no modification areas in Class IV arches

Question 24

Class II, Modifications 1

Answer 24
