Q

true or false: a double abutment with a retentive retainer can be used to replace an over-tapered retainer for primary abutment

A

false. double abutments should not be used because there is poor retention in the primary abutment

Q

tooth 33 is a pier abutment. which tooth has the slot?

a) 31
b) 32
c) 33
d) 34

A

c) 33

24
Q

tooth 33 is a pier abutment. which tooth has the key?

a) 31
b) 32
c) 33
d) 34

A

d) 34

25
Q

name 2 design options for tilted abutments and list a disadvantage for both

A
  1. non-rigid connector (adv: can change path of insertion, disad: have to prep more on PM)
  2. leave distal surface unpreped (disad: less rigidity)
26
Q

2 “solutions” to limited restorative space

A
  1. adjust opposing occlusal plane

2. metal FDP

27
Q

which canines make good pontics? maxilla or mandible?

A

mandible (compression forces). Maxilla canine has tension forces that lead to failure

28
Q

list the steps for direct technique interim FDP

A
  • impression
  • prep teeth
  • add material in matrix and set
29
Q

list the steps for indirect technique interim FDP

A
  • prep teeth
  • impression
  • model
  • make temp on model
  • mill restoration
30
Q

list the steps for indirect-direct technique interim FDP

A
  • impression
  • model (can also do a wax-up)
  • do conservative prep on model
  • make PMMA temp
  • prep teeth
  • take hollowed PMMA temp and reline it with integrity
31
Q

name 3 advantages of PMMA

A
  • good polishability
  • repairable
  • durable
32
Q

can you repair bis-acryl?

A

no

33
Q

name an advantage of bis-acryl

A

resistance to abrasion

34
Q

hygienic pontic: location

A

posterior mandible

35
Q

hygienic pontic: pros

A

hygiene

36
Q

hygienic pontic: cons

A

poor esthetics

37
Q

hygienic pontic: contra-indication

A

little VDO, esthetic zone

38
Q

hygienic pontic: material

A

metal

39
Q

modified ridge flap: location

A

anterior teeth, esthetic zone

40
Q

modified ridge flap: advantage

A

esthetic

41
Q

modified ridge flap: material

A

metal-ceramic, ceramic, resin

42
Q

ovate pontic: location

A

esthetic zone, high smile line

43
Q

ovate pontic: advantage

A

superior esthetics, no food entrapment, easy to clean

44
Q

ovate pontic: disadvantage

A

requires surgery, cannot place on ridge defects

45
Q

ovate pontic: material

A

metal-ceramic, ceramic, resin

46
Q

you are making an FPD for the posterior mandible. the patient has poor oral hygiene. what material do you select

a) metal
b) PFM
c) zirconia
d) resin

A

metal. pt has poor oral hygiene so they should have a hygienic pontic. these require metal

47
Q

what material would you use for a long span FDP:

a) layered zirconia
b) monolithic zirconia
c) lithium disilicate
d) PFM

A

d) PFM [(could also use monolithic zirconia if it’s less than 5 unit FPD). don’t use ceramics bc they break due to flexion. layered zirconia is very weak and fractures]

48
Q

why is an inverted smile pattern difficult to treat

A

it can indicate occlusal problems

49
Q

what percent of the population has a complex smile pattern

A

2%

50
Q

E method indicates that the incisal edges are __

A

in the lower third

51
Q

retention for resin-bonded bridges comes from ___

A

resin cement

52
Q

what is the main complication for resin-bonded bridges

A

de-bonding

53
Q

studies show that the best design for resin-bonded bridges is __

A

1 wing designs (cantilever)

54
Q

where does the resistance form come from for resin bonded bridges

A

proximally

55
Q

risk of failure is most common in ___ bridges for resin-bonded bridges

A

mandibular anterior bridges (due to unseating from occlusal forces)

56
Q

what bur do you use to polish metal

A

carbide

57
Q

what bur do you use to polish porcelain

A

diamond
