3
Movement of tooth borne removable partial dentures occurs around a fulcrum line axis.
FALSE – tooth and tissue borne
Which of the following is considered a primary supporting area for the maxillary edentulous arch?
posterior ridge crest + horizontal hard palate
Which of the following is considered a primary supporting area for the mandibular edentulous arch?
pear-shaped pad + buccal shelf
Fulcrum lines would NOT be associated with which of the Kennedy Classifications listed below?
Kennedy Class III (tooth borne)
For which of the maxillary Kennedy Classifications listed below would a modified palatal plate major connector be indicated?
Kennedy Class II
The general type of major connector chosen for a patient presenting with maxillary Kennedy Class III partial edentulism is
straptype
Which of the mandibular major connectors listed below contributes the most support to the extension base RPD?
NONE - no support from labial bar, lingual bar, lingual plate, sub-lingual bar (all are major connectors)
Which type of denture base is NOT associated with posts, loops or beads to help retain artificial denture teeth?
Retentive mesh – others, open lattice, metal base
Metal bases are commonly utilized to replace partially edentulous segments that are longer than molars mesiodistally.
FALSE – shorter than molars
Which of the direct retainers listed below is considered to be STRESS RELEASING?
RPI, combination cast circumferential and wrought wire
The first clasp of choice for abutment teeth on a maxillary Kennedy Class I RPD is?
RPI
Which of the components listed below is not a type of indirect retainer?
REST – indirect retainers: minor connector, proximal plate, lingual plate major connector, lingal bar major connector
A gold framework would weigh ____?___ how much more than a base metal framework of the same size.
2x as much
The major constituent of chromium-cobalt base metal alloys for RPD frameworks is chromium.
FALSE
Frameworks for RPD’s are waxed and cast directly on the master cast.
FALSE
Cuspid rise and anterior disclusion is an ideal occlusal scheme for mandibular tooth borne partial dentures opposing maxillary complete dentures.
FALSE
Master impressions for RPD’s should be made in
stock metal impression trays with alginate
A CERAMOMETAL restoration is a legitimate restoration to consider restoring an anterior tooth discolored in response to endodontic treatment
TRUE – not like Emax
Which prep margin is most appropriate for an Emax restoration?
Heavy chamfer
What is the chemical nature of Emax?
Lithium Disilicate
Emax is NOT an ideal restoration for a tooth that has been significantly discolored due to
endo treatment
TRUE
What is the minimal amount of axial reduction required for Emax? incisal reduction?
1.0 mm; 2.0 mm
Minimum amount of incisal reduction required for an Emax restoration?
1.5 mm – max: 2.0 mm
When drawing design sequence for RPD framework on a cast, the 2nd component you should draw is?
Minor connectors – 1st: rests
Term is used to describe bone’s response to loading forces
Bone index
For traditional Class II composite prep, where would you place retention grooves
Composite traditional prep doesn’t require retention grooves
In considering the following teeth for a ceramometal restoration, which would most likely accommodate the optimal amount of facial reduction
Tooth #11
Etching with 35% phosphoric acid longer than 20 second will:
A, B, C - increase sensitivity, coagulate collagen, open dentinal tubule excessivey
Ceramometal restoration needs porcelain facial margin, and the facial should should be how big
1.2 -1.5 mm
Primary supporting areas for mandibular arch is the posterior ridge crest.
FALSE – pear-shaped pad + buccal shelf
Fulcrum line access does not exist for this type of RPD:
Kennedy Class III - tooth borne
For proper examination and diagnosis how many casts of each partially edentulous arch should be made for patients requesting RPD therapy?
TWO
The advantages of direct composite veneers are:
They provide high flexibility in design and adjustments
When adding composite:
Always move your instrument from the composite towards the margin
Micro-fine diamond burs are used to:
Shape and pre-polish the composite
Posterior composite techniques require:
That a maximum of 2mm of composite be placed sequentially
In Class II Posterior composite designs:
All – It is okay to have the pulpal floor remain in enamel; As long as we are not in contact areas, it is okay to have a depth of less than 1.5mm; The minimal axial depth is 1mm; Healthy pits and grooves are not removed
Microfilled composites:
Provide high polishability, luster, and translucency
Regular carbide burs are ideal for shaping to a prefinish
FALSE
