Anterior-posterior palatal strap, minimum distance between straps and
minimum width for each strap Correct Answer: 15 mm between, 6 mm
anterior and 8 mm posterior
,Palatal plate advised when? Correct Answer: The last abutment on
either side is a canine or premolar
Main function of indirect retainers Correct Answer: prevents vertical
dislodgement of the distal extension base away from tissues (sticky
food)
Minimum number of rests for RPD Correct Answer: 3
For a distal extension where is the rest on the most posterior tooth
Correct Answer: mesial
rest seat depth Correct Answer: 1.5 mm at marginal ridge and 2 mm in
center, at least 2.5 mm wide
what is prepared first? Guide planes or seats Correct Answer: guide
planes
extended occlusal rests used when? Correct Answer: used when most
posterior molar abutment is mesially tipped in class II (mod I) and class
III
Cingulum rest depths Correct Answer: 2 mm wide (F-L), 2.5-3 mm (M-
D), 1.5 mm deep
Guide plane position relative to height of contour for classes of RPD
Correct Answer: Class III and IV can end above the height of contour
because there is no functional movement. Class I and II must be below
the height of contour (to prevent torquing). With I-bars and mesial rests
on premolars, must end exactly at the height of contour.
