Q

Residual bone & soft tissue covering that remains after tooth loss:

A

residual (edentulous) ridge

53
Q

What may serve as part of support for certain types of RPD:

A

residual (edentulous) ridge

54
Q

What are the teeth with the clasp assemblies around them considered?

A

abutment teeth

55
Q

Maxillomandibular relationship in which the condyles articulate with the thinnest avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the anterior-superior position against the slope of the articular eminence:

A

centric relation

56
Q

Centric relation is the maxillomandibular relationship in which the condyles articulate with the thinner avascular portion of their respective disks with the complex in the ___ position against the slope of the articular eminence:

A

anterior-superior

57
Q

CR is ____ of tooth contact

A

independent

58
Q

CR position is restricted to:

A

purely rotational motion

59
Q

The relationship of the condyle & disc in relation to the slope of the articular eminence; independent of tooth position:

A

centric relation

60
Q

What do we mean when we say CR position is restricted to purely rotational motion?

A

The mandible will be ONLY rotating around the condyle

61
Q

Position with complete intercuspation of opposing teeth; independent of condylar position:

A

Maximal intercuspal position (MIP)

62
Q

Maximal intercuspal position (MIP) Is ___ of condylar position

A

independent

63
Q

The point of tooth contact when a patient is in CR position

A

Centric occlusion (CO)

65
Q

An accurate positive reproduction of the maxillary or mandibular arch:

66
Q

Cast for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment planning:

A

Diagnostic cast

67
Q

Replica of the teeth, residual ridges, & other parts of the dental arch used to Fabricate dental restoration or prosthesis:

A

Master cast

68
Q

RPD that depends entirely on natural teeth for support:

A

Tooth-supported RPD

69
Q

Why are there not tissue-only-supported RPDs?

A

Because this would be a CD

70
Q
  • RPD supported and retained by teeth at ONLY one end
  • Denture base is supported by teeth AND residual ridge
A

Tooth-tissue supported RPD

71
Q

Also called an “extension based RPD”

A

tooth-tissue RPD
