Whole blood and fresh frozen plasma contain Factor VIII but in much lower concentrations. Factor IX concentrate is used for Hemophilia B (Christmas disease), not Hemophilia A.

ProsthodonticsClass III RPDs can best resist the forces to which they are subjected because they are completely tooth-supported with abutment teeth on both sides of each edentulous space. This bilateral tooth support provides excellent resistance to all directional forces, unlike Class I, II, and IV which have tissue-supported components.

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.
