Which of the following is true regarding immediate complete dentures?
1. Dentures should be relined or remade in 6-12 months
2. The patient should not wear the dentures for the first 24 hours after
extraction
3. Anterior try in should be done
4. Teeth should always be placed in the same position as natural teeth
Prosthodontics
Answer: 1
Explanation: Immediate complete dentures often require relining or remaking due
to the significant bone and tissue changes that occur during the initial healing
phase after tooth extraction. The reline helps to adapt the denture to the new
contours of the alveolar ridge, providing a more stable and comfortable fit.
The most important advantage of incomplete dentures, is the
1 low cost of their fabrication
2 less time required for their construction
3 preservation of the health of the TM joints
4 preservation o the maximum amount of ridge bulk with minimum of trauma and
swelling

Answer: 4
Guiding planes
1) Determine the path of insertion
2) Determine the path of removal
3) Assure predicatable clasp design
4) All of the above
Prosthodontics
Answer: 4
Guiding planes are flat, polished surfaces on the abutment teeth that guide the RPD into place. They are crucial for the predictable placement of retentive elements such as clasps and for ensuring that the forces are transmitted along the long axis of the teeth, minimizing horizontal movements. Additionally, they help in the overall stability and function of the denture.
The appropriate shape of a rest for a canine tooth is:
1) Full moon shaped
2) Half moon shaped
3) Half pear-shaped
4) None of the above
Prosthodontics Answer: 2
The half moon shape is ideal for canine rests as it provides adequate support and stability for the removable partial denture.
Muscles involved in centric relation
1. Temporalis and masseter
2. Medial and lateral pterygoids
3. Temporalis and lateral pterygoid
4. None of the above
Prosthodontics
Answer: 1
Muscles involved in centric relation are temporalis and masseter.
A tooth that has been out of function for a long time is used as abutment for a FPD. The continuous pain resulting from the tooth is mainly due to
1) Irritation of the pulp during preparation for retainer
2) Traction of the periodontal ligament fibres
3) Deflective occlusal contacts
4) Periapical inflammation
Prosthodontics
Answer: 2
When a tooth has been out of function for an extended period, it can experience changes in the periodontal ligament that supports it. The periodontal ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that connects the tooth to the bone and allows for a certain degree of movement. This movement is essential for the health of the ligament and the surrounding tissues. When a tooth is no longer subjected to the normal forces of biting and chewing, the periodontal ligament fibres can become weak or atrophied.
When this tooth is then used as an abutment for a fixed partial denture (FPD), it is once again exposed to the functional stresses that were previously absent. These stresses can cause traction on the periodontal ligament fibres, leading to pain and discomfort. The pain is mainly due to the sudden reintroduction of forces to the ligament that it is not accustomed to handling.
Only pure hinge movements of the mandible occur at
1. Centric occlusion
2. Centric relation
3. Lateral occlusion
4. Terminal hinge position
Prosthodontics
Answer: 4
Only pure hinge movements of the mandible occur at terminal hinge position.
A patient wants new set of CD. The present set which he is wearing now is loose. Examination revealed papillary hyperplasia of palate. The first thing you would like to do
1. Cauterize the papillary growth so that palate is smooth
2. Use tissue conditioners on the maxillary denture for the abuses tissue
3. Making the impression for CD with mucocompressive materials
4. Tell the patient it is difficult to make CD for him
Prosthodontics
Answer: 2
A patient wants a new set of CD. The present set which he is wearing now is loose. Examination revealed papillary hyperplasia of the palate. The first thing you would like to do is use tissue conditioners on the maxillary denture for the abused tissue.
