Rest
Which of the following is false concerning Indirect Retainers
Most commonly in the form of a MO rest on a 1st molar

Occlusion
A surveyed crown are indicated when
- The survey line is in the gingival 1/3

0.01 “
The order of performing tooth modifications within the mouth are
Guide planes, Survey line reposition, Rest
You should decide what type of clasp to use after
Surveying the cast
Vertically parallel surfaces of abutment teeth oriented to contribute to the direction of the path of insertion and dislodgment of a RPD during insertion and removal is called
Guiding planes
The terminal 1/3 of a retentive clasp arm in a tooth-tissue borne RPD should be located
Gingival 1/3
Picture of a maxillary arch: The patient is missing tooth #12, 13, 14, 15 but has retained tooth #16. What is the classification?
Class 3
Which of the following is true concerning Kennedy’s classification?
Edentulous areas other than those that determine the classification are referred to as modifications and are designated by their number
The extent of the modification is not considered, only the number of additional edentulous areas is considered
Both of the above are true
Both of the above are true
Which Kennedy’s classification is it not possible to have modification areas?
class 4
Which of the following is true concerning guiding planes
As wide as the widest portion of the occlusal rest
1/3 the bucco-lingual width of the tooth
1/2 the distance between the cusp tips
All of the following are true
All of the above
The length of guiding planes in a tooth-tissue supported abutments should be
1.5-2.0 mm
The length of guiding planes in a tooth supported abutments should be
3-4 mm
Borders for a maxillary major connectors should be placed ________ mm from the gingival margin
6 mm
The primary purpose of a posterior palatal seal for the maxillary major connectors is to
Prevent the ingress of air and food underneath the denture
Which of the components of a RPD are not rigid
(A AND B ARE RIGHT)
Approaching arm of I-bar
Terminal 1/3 of the retentive arm
A facebow transfer of a diagnostic cast for planning an RPD helps with:
`
(A AND B ARE RIGHT)
More accurate arc of closure
More accurate occlusion
Which clasp is indicated when the patient is concerned about esthetics?
I-Bar
Why choose cingulum rest over incisal edge
Less leverage on the tooth
The amount of space needed from the floor of the mouth to the free gingival margin for a lingual bar is
7-9 mm
A lingual plate is indicated for all of the following EXCEPT?
Severely anterior crowding
`

Minor Connector
In a suprabulge clasp type, the retentive arm approaches the undercut from
Above the survey line
The first choice of clasp for a distal-extension RPD is
RPI
Examples of Tooth-tissue supported RPDs are
(A AND B ARE RIGHT)
Class 1
Class 2
The most common cause of rest fracture is due to
Inadequate rest seat reduction
The primary function of an occlusal rest is to
Direct forces down the long axis of the tooth
The primary-design quality of the occlusal rest would categorize it as a + rest seat is
Forms an acute angle with the minor connectors that connect them to the major connectors
Which teeth can be prepared with a lingual rest seat (does not require the addition of composite)?
Maxillary canine
The altered cast procedure is used to
Ensure support for the RPD
The altered cast procedures requires all of the following EXCEPT
Placement of pressure on the distal extension
If a patient has numerous teeth with harmonious occlusion, casts can be mounted
In MIP
All of the following are the disadvantages of the bar (infra-bulge) clasp EXCEPT one. Which is the exception?
Less Flexible
The only major connector that should not be used in the maxillary arch is
Lingual bar
The major connector most commonly used for class III RPDs
Palatal strap
The width of the straps used in A-P
6-8 mm
Depth of marginal ridge in rest seat
1- 1.5 mm
Proximal plate needs to be adjusted before rest seat. You want the S curved survey line in the retentive arm, not the reciprocal arm
both true
Fabrication of RPD framework
Master cast
Lateral forces are what function
Cross arch stabilization
t/f: Rests transfer forces down long axis
true
Order of reduction
Guide planes, survey line adjustment, rest seats
You want guide planes to wrap around to lingual in RPI. There should be sluiceway through the facial in RPI on the mesial rest
