When setting teeth for a complete denture in bilateral balanced occlusion, if
the incisal guidance is steep, the
1 occlusal plane should be shallow
2 compensating curve should be steep
3 cuspal inclines should be shallow
4 condylar guidance should be made steep
Prosthodontics
Answer: 2
Explanation: In bilateral balanced occlusion, if the incisal
guidance is steep, it is necessary to create a compensating curve that is also
steep to maintain balanced occlusion during lateral movements. This helps to
ensure that the occlusal contacts remain balanced and stable, preventing tipping
or dislodgment of the denture during function. The other options do not
adequately address the need for balance in occlusion.
The posterior palatel seal for a maxillary complete denture
1. Is placed immediately posterior to the vibrating line
2. Is placed immediately anterior to the vibrating line
3. Is not necessary if a metal base is made
4. Will vary in outline and depth according to the palatal form
Prosthodontics
Answer: 4
The posterior palatal seal for a maxillary complete denture will vary in outline and depth according to the palatal form.
When patient closes in centric occlusion if lower jaw is placed anteriorly in relation to upper jaw, it is called as
1. Normal occlusion
2. Centric occlusion
3. Pre normal occlusion
4. Centric relation
Prosthodontics
Answer: 3
When a patient closes in centric occlusion, if the lower jaw is placed anteriorly in relation to the upper jaw, it is called pre-normal occlusion.

Which tooth carries the heaviest load in a complete denture patient ?
1. Second bicuspid
2.First molar
3 Second molar
4 First bicuspid
Prosthodontics
Answer: 1
Explanation: In complete denture patients, the second bicuspid
often carries a significant load during mastication due to its position and the
occlusal forces exerted during chewing. This tooth's location allows it to
support the occlusal forces effectively, making it crucial in the overall
function of the denture.
Which of the following is painless
1. Vit-C deficiency gingivitis
2. Desquamative gingivitis
3. Pregnancy tumour
4. Gingival abscess
Prosthodontics
Answer: 3
Which of the following is painless: pregnancy tumour.
What is the purpose of using undercut gauges in dental surveying?
1) To identify the amount of retentive undercut
2) To measure the size of the cast
3) To contour wax patterns
4) To clean the surveyor
Prosthodontics
Answer: 1
Undercut gauges are specifically designed to measure the amount of retentive undercut available on the cast.
Porosity occuring in the bulky portions of the heat-cured acrylic complete dentures is due to
1) Insufficient pressure application during packing
2) Time lag between packing and curing
3) Directly placing the packed resin in water at 100 degree
4) Using a fluid pour technique
Prosthodontics
Answer: 3
Porosity in heat-cured acrylic dentures can occur due to several factors, but the most significant cause in this context is the direct placement of the packed resin in water at high temperatures (100 degrees Celsius). When the packed resin is subjected to such conditions, it can lead to rapid polymerization and the formation of bubbles or voids within the material, resulting in porosity. This is because the heat causes the monomer to vaporize, and if the vapor cannot escape, it leads to trapped air pockets.
