242. A distal extension partial denture receives its support :
- A.
  
  From terminal abutments
- B.
  
  Equally from abutments and the residual ridges
- C.
  
  Mostly from residual ridge
- D.
  
  Exclusively from residual ridge
Correct Answer
C. Mostly from residual ridge

Explanation
A distal extension partial denture is a type of denture that is supported by both the remaining teeth (abutments) and the underlying bone ridge (residual ridge). However, the majority of the support for the denture comes from the residual ridge. This is because the abutments are located at the front of the mouth, while the distal extension area is at the back. Therefore, the residual ridge bears most of the load and provides stability for the denture.

- A.
  
  Dimensional stability-warp
- B.
  
  Lower strength / wear resistance than metal
- C.
  
  Porous – hygiene
- D.
  
  Esthetically superior to metal bases
Correct Answer
D. Esthetically superior to metal bases

Explanation
Resin bases have the advantage of being aesthetically superior to metal bases. This means that they are more visually pleasing and can provide a more natural appearance. Resin bases can be color-matched to the patient's natural teeth, resulting in a more seamless and attractive smile. Additionally, resin bases are typically more comfortable for the patient as they are lighter and less bulky compared to metal bases.

244. Metal bases use :
- A.
  
  Big edentulous space
- B.
  
  Small edentulous space (no room for grid work)
- C.
  
  For anterior edentulous space
- D.
  
  For posterior edentulous space
Correct Answer
B. Small edentulous space (no room for grid work)

Explanation
Metal bases are used in cases where there is a small edentulous space and there is no room for grid work. Grid work is a type of partial denture framework that is used to support the artificial teeth. In cases where there is not enough space for grid work, a metal base can be used instead. This allows for a more stable and secure fit of the denture in the mouth.

247.The support for a RPD is usually :
- A.
  
  Tooth support
- B.
  
  Mucosa support
- C.
  
  Occlusal rest support
- D.
  
  Tooth and mucosa support
Correct Answer
D. Tooth and mucosa support

Explanation
The support for a RPD (Removable Partial Denture) is usually provided by both the teeth and the surrounding mucosa. The teeth provide stability and retention for the denture, while the mucosa provides additional support and helps distribute the forces evenly. Both factors are important in ensuring the RPD fits properly and functions effectively.

248. The mandibular distal extension RPD extends up to :
- A.
  
  Full length of retromolar pad
- B.
  
  Anterior one third length of retro –molar pad
- C.
  
  Anterior 2/3 of retro-molar pad
- D.
  
  Just behind abutment
Correct Answer
C. Anterior 2/3 of retro-molar pad

Explanation
The mandibular distal extension RPD extends up to the anterior 2/3 of the retro-molar pad. This means that the removable partial denture (RPD) extends to the area just behind the abutment teeth, covering approximately two-thirds of the retro-molar pad. This is important for providing stability and support to the RPD, as well as maintaining proper function and aesthetics for the patient.

249. Distal extension RPD is :
- A.
  
  Both tissue and tooth borne
- B.
  
  Tissue borne
- C.
  
  Class III condition
- D.
  
  Class IV condition
Correct Answer
A. Both tissue and tooth borne

Explanation
A distal extension removable partial denture (RPD) is a type of dental prosthesis that is supported by both the underlying tissues and the remaining natural teeth. This means that the RPD relies on both the gums and bone structure as well as the adjacent teeth for stability and support. It is used when there are missing teeth in the posterior region of the mouth and there are healthy teeth present on either side of the edentulous space.

250. If a third molar is absent and not to be replaced :
- A.
  
  It is not consideration in the classification of partial dentures
- B.
  
  It may or may not be considered
- C.
  
  It is considered important for classification
- D.
  
  None applies
Correct Answer
A. It is not consideration in the classification of partial dentures

Explanation
The absence of a third molar does not affect the classification of partial dentures. This means that whether a patient has a third molar or not, it does not play a role in determining the type or classification of the partial denture that will be used.

251. RPD is indicated in all EXCEPT :
- A.
  
  Long edentulous span
- B.
  
  Multiple edentulous spaces
- C.
  
  Excessive loss of alveolar bone
- D.
  
  Distal abutment loss
Correct Answer
B. Multiple edentulous spaces

Explanation
RPD stands for Removable Partial Denture, which is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth in patients with some remaining natural teeth. RPD is indicated in cases of long edentulous spans, excessive loss of alveolar bone, and distal abutment loss. However, it is not indicated in cases of multiple edentulous spaces. This means that when a patient has several missing teeth in different areas of the mouth, RPD may not be the recommended treatment option.

252. Most important property of a RPD :
- A.
  
  Retention
- B.
  
  Stability
- C.
  
  Occlusion
- D.
  
  Prevention of tooth migration
Correct Answer
A. Retention

Explanation
The most important property of a removable partial denture (RPD) is retention. Retention refers to the ability of the RPD to stay in place and resist displacement during normal oral function. Without proper retention, the RPD may become loose, causing discomfort and difficulty in chewing and speaking. Retention is crucial for the success and functionality of the RPD, as it allows the patient to comfortably wear and use the prosthesis. Stability, occlusion, and prevention of tooth migration are also important properties of an RPD, but retention is considered the most vital.

253. The most important cause of failure of patients wear RPD is due to:
- A.
  
  Indifferent patient education
- B.
  
  Faulty laboratory procedures
- C.
  
  Poor framework design
- D.
  
  Improper preliminary rehabilitative restorative procedures
Correct Answer
D. Improper preliminary rehabilitative restorative procedures

Explanation
Improper preliminary rehabilitative restorative procedures can lead to failure of patients wearing RPDs. These procedures include the initial steps taken before the RPD is fabricated, such as the assessment of the patient's oral health, the planning and execution of any necessary dental treatments, and the preparation of the mouth for the RPD. If these procedures are not performed correctly, it can result in an ill-fitting or uncomfortable RPD, causing the patient to experience difficulties and ultimately leading to failure.
