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:
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.
