All of the following statements about denture stomatitis are true EXCEPT
1) It is usually not associated with a sore mouth
2) It is usually associated with wearing a denture at night
3) It is more common in diabetes
4) It is more common in men
Prosthodontics
Answer: 4
Explanation:
It is usually not associated with a sore mouth: This
statement is true. Denture stomatitis can occur without
significant soreness, although some patients may experience discomfort. The
condition is often asymptomatic, especially in its early stages.
It is usually associated with wearing a denture at night:
This statement is true. Wearing dentures continuously,
especially at night, can create a favorable environment for the growth of
Candida species, which is a common cause of denture stomatitis.
It is more common in diabetes: This statement is true.
Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk for infections, including
oral candidiasis, which can lead to denture stomatitis.
It is more common in men: This statement is not
true. Denture stomatitis is generally more prevalent in women,
particularly postmenopausal women, due to hormonal changes that can affect
oral mucosa and immune response.
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.

Most accurate reproducible relationship for recording jaw relation is
1. Physiologic rest position
2. Centric occlusion
3. Centric relation
4. Both B and C
Prosthodontics
Answer: 3
Most accurate reproducible relationship for recording jaw relation is centric relation.
A properly designed rest on lingual surface of a canine is preferred to a rest on incisal surface because
1) Less leverage is exerted against the tooth by lingual rest
2) Enamel is thicker on lingual surface
3) Visibility and access is better on lingual surface
4) None of the above
Prosthodontics
Answer: 1
a properly designed rest on the lingual surface of a canine is preferred because it exerts less leverage against the tooth compared to a rest on the incisal surface (option 1). This is important for maintaining the integrity of the tooth and preventing potential damage or displacement.
All of the following are true regarding the use of cast circumferential clasps, except that, the
1. retentive clasp terminal should originate occlusal to the height of contour
2. retentive terminal should always point towards the gingiva
3. clasp arm should be kept as low on the tooth as possible
4. all of the above
Prosthodontics
Answer: 2
In the design of cast circumferential clasps, the retentive terminal should ideally point away from the gingiva (toward the occlusal surface) to allow for proper engagement and retention without causing trauma to the gingival tissue.
You would like to advise your patient to clean RPD
1) Early in the morning
2) Twice a day
3) After every meal
4) Thrice a day
Prosthodontics
Answer: 3
An RPD, or Removable Partial Denture, is a dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is important to clean an RPD thoroughly after every meal to remove food debris and plaque, which can lead to dental issues like gum disease, decay of remaining teeth, and bad breath. Cleaning an RPD regularly helps maintain oral hygiene and the health of the patient's remaining teeth and gums. While it is generally recommended to clean it at least twice a day, cleaning after every meal is ideal to prevent the buildup of bacteria and food particles. The patient should also soak the RPD in a cleaning solution overnight to ensure thorough sanitization and maintenance of the appliance.
