    2. Infrabulge clasps originate:

    • Above the 12mm undercut areas

    • Above the occlusal surface of most premolars

    • Above the height of contour

    • Below the height of contour 

    Correct Answer
    A. Below the height of contour 
    Explanation
    Infrabulge clasps originate below the height of contour. This means that they are positioned below the highest point on the tooth's surface. Infrabulge clasps are used in removable partial dentures to provide stability and retention. By placing the clasps below the height of contour, they can engage undercuts on the tooth surface, which helps to secure the denture in place. This positioning also helps to distribute forces evenly across the tooth and minimize any potential damage or discomfort to the patient.

    • Full palatal strap

    • Palatal strap

    • Anterior posterior palatal strap

    • Anterior palatal strap

    Correct Answer
    A. Anterior posterior palatal strap
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "anterior posterior palatal strap." This type of major connector is commonly used in maxillary dentures to provide stability and support. It extends from the anterior region of the palate to the posterior region, connecting the anterior teeth and the posterior edentulous area. This design helps distribute the occlusal forces evenly and prevents the denture from rotating or dislodging during function.

    7. Which of the following maxillary major connectors possesses the least strength and rigidity?:

    • Anterior posterior palatal strap

    • Palatal plate

    • Horse –shoe

    • Modified palatal strap

    Correct Answer
    A. Horse –shoe
    Explanation
    The horse-shoe major connector possesses the least strength and rigidity among the given options. This is because the horse-shoe design only covers the anterior teeth and does not extend to the posterior teeth or the palate. As a result, it lacks the additional support and stability that the other options provide. The palatal plate, anterior posterior palatal strap, and modified palatal strap all cover a larger area and offer more support, making them stronger and more rigid than the horse-shoe design.

    8. Which of the following clasps commonly utilize lingual undercut?:

    • Extended arm clasp

    • Back action clasp

    • Embrasure clasp

    • Ring clasp

    Correct Answer
    A. Ring clasp
    Explanation
    A ring clasp commonly utilizes lingual undercut because it is designed to encircle the tooth and engage the undercut on the lingual surface. This allows for better retention and stability of the clasp on the tooth. Extended arm clasp, back action clasp, and embrasure clasp do not typically utilize lingual undercut in the same way as a ring clasp.

    22. Direct retainer (clasps):

    • Help stabilize the RPD by controlling occlusal  movement

    • Help stabilize the RPD by controlling gingival movement

    • May also function as indirect retainers

    • Prevent excessive biting forces on the abutment

    Correct Answer
    A. Help stabilize the RPD by controlling occlusal  movement
    Explanation
    Clasps in a removable partial denture (RPD) help stabilize the RPD by controlling occlusal movement. They provide support and stability to the RPD by engaging undercuts on the abutment teeth, preventing the prosthesis from dislodging during functional movements such as biting and chewing. Clasps do not control gingival movement or prevent excessive biting forces on the abutment. They may also function as indirect retainers, providing additional stability to the RPD by resisting rotational forces.

    37. The correct answer the  basic movements of the mandible:

    • Hinge, chewing and yawing

    • Translatory movements relative to centric relation

    • Lateral, dimension, excursion

    • Hinge , lateral and translatory movement

    Correct Answer
    A. Hinge , lateral and translatory movement
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Hinge, lateral and translatory movement." The mandible, or lower jaw, has several basic movements. The hinge movement refers to the opening and closing of the jaw, like a hinge on a door. Lateral movement refers to the side-to-side movement of the jaw, allowing for chewing and grinding of food. Translatory movement refers to the forward and backward movement of the jaw, which helps with actions like speaking and swallowing. Together, these three movements allow for the full range of motion of the mandible.

    38. A mandibular movement which is<< either opening or closing motions of the mandible around a horizontal axis that is common to both condyles >> would be best classified as a…………movement:

    • Translatory excursion

    • Centric relation

    • Lateral

    • Hinge

    Correct Answer
    A. Hinge
    Explanation
    A mandibular movement that involves either opening or closing motions of the mandible around a horizontal axis that is common to both condyles is best classified as a hinge movement. In a hinge movement, the mandible acts like a hinge, allowing the jaw to open and close in a swinging motion around a fixed axis. This type of movement is different from translatory excursion, which involves a sliding motion of the mandible, and centric relation, which refers to the position of the mandible when the teeth are in maximum intercuspation.

    40. When the survey line is height on the Mesial or Distal but low on the center, which one design clasp:

    •  I  clasp

    • Y clasp

    • T clasp

    •  U clasp

    Correct Answer
    A. Y clasp
    Explanation
    When the survey line is high on the Mesial or Distal but low on the center, a Y clasp is designed. This is because a Y clasp allows for greater flexibility and adaptability in engaging the undercut areas of the teeth, especially when the survey line is not at the same level throughout. The Y clasp can provide adequate retention and stability in such cases.

    41. More acceptable esthetically and less caries formation for bar clasp is:

    • Y clasp

    • I clasp

    • T clasp

    • U clasp

    Correct Answer
    A. I clasp
    Explanation
    The I clasp is more aesthetically acceptable and causes less caries formation compared to other types of clasp designs. This is because the I clasp is designed to engage the undercut of the tooth in a more discreet manner, resulting in a more natural appearance. Additionally, the I clasp puts less pressure on the tooth, reducing the risk of caries formation.

    42. Best selection of preventing abutments tooth of class I Kennedy from the negative effects of the additional load applied to them is by:

    • Splinting abutment with adjacent teeth

    • Placing distal rests on the distal abutment

    • Keeping a light occlusion on the distal extensions

    • Regular relining of distal extensions

    Correct Answer
    A. Keeping a light occlusion on the distal extensions
    Explanation
    Keeping a light occlusion on the distal extensions is the best way to prevent the negative effects of additional load on class I Kennedy abutments. This means that the contact between the upper and lower teeth in the distal extension area should be minimal or light. This helps to distribute the load evenly and reduce the stress on the abutments. Splinting the abutment with adjacent teeth, placing distal rests on the distal abutment, and regular relining of distal extensions may not provide the same level of protection against the negative effects of additional load.

    • Ridge area

    • Elevated mid suture line

    • Rugae area

    • Palatal torus

    Correct Answer
    A. Palatal torus
    Explanation
    When designing palatal connectors, relief should be given for the palatal torus. The palatal torus is a bony protuberance on the midline of the hard palate. It can vary in size and shape among individuals. Providing relief for the palatal torus ensures that the denture or appliance fits comfortably and does not cause any discomfort or pressure on the torus. This is important for the overall comfort and stability of the prosthesis.

    44. For the preparation of rest seat:

    • Marginal ridge should be reduced by 25 mm

    • Marginal ridge should be reduced by 1 mm

    • The outline to have greater length than width

    • The outline to have greater width than length

    Correct Answer
    A. Marginal ridge should be reduced by 1 mm
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the marginal ridge should be reduced by 1 mm. This means that when preparing the rest seat, the marginal ridge of the tooth should be reduced by a total of 1 mm. This reduction helps create a proper fit for the restorative material or prosthesis that will be placed on the tooth.

    45. Which of the following chronic conditions may cause tooth abrasion?:

    • Pipe smoking

    •  Occlusion trauma

    • Hard brush using and strong brushing

    • Strong mastication

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard brush using and strong brushing
    Explanation
    Hard brush using and strong brushing can cause tooth abrasion because the excessive force and friction can wear away the enamel on the teeth over time. This can lead to sensitivity, tooth decay, and gum recession. Pipe smoking, occlusion trauma, and strong mastication may have other oral health effects, but they are not directly related to tooth abrasion.

    46. Tripod of dental surveyor is the method used:

    • For giving clasp assemblies at 3 points

    • Determine the undercut areas on the tooth

    • Surveyor to have reproducible position of the cast on the surveyor

    • Surveyor for recording the relation of the cast to the surveyor

    Correct Answer
    A. Surveyor for recording the relation of the cast to the surveyor
    Explanation
    The tripod of dental surveyor is used for recording the relation of the cast to the surveyor. This means that the surveyor is used to measure and record the position of the cast in relation to the surveyor. This is important for ensuring accurate and reproducible measurements and for determining the proper positioning of clasp assemblies and identifying undercut areas on the tooth. The tripod method provides stability and consistency in recording these measurements.

    47. What are the typical positions of the maxillary and mandibular teeth, and the tongue during empty mouth swallowing?:

    • Centric occlusion, the tongue touches the palate

    • Occlusion, the tongue touches the lingual aspects of the anterior teeth

    • Retruded contact, the tongue touches the palate

    • Retruded contact, the tongue touches the lingual aspects of the anterior teeth

    Correct Answer
    A. Centric occlusion, the tongue touches the palate
    Explanation
    During empty mouth swallowing, the typical position of the maxillary and mandibular teeth is in centric occlusion, which means that they are in their normal biting position. In this position, the tongue touches the palate, providing support and stability during the swallowing process.
