Infrabulge clasps originate:
- A.
Below the height of contour
- B.
Above the 12mm undercut areas
- C.
Above the occlusal surface of most premolars
- D.
Above the height of contour
Correct Answer
A. Below the height of contourExplanation
Infrabulge clasps originate below the height of contour because they are designed to engage the undercut areas on the tooth surface. The height of contour is the widest part of the tooth, and placing the clasps below this point allows them to securely grip the tooth structure and provide stability for a removable partial denture. Placing the clasps above the height of contour or above the occlusal surface of most premolars would not allow them to engage the undercut areas effectively, compromising the retention and stability of the denture.Rate this question:

Which of the following chronic conditions may cause tooth abrasion?:
- A.
Hard brush using and strong brushing
- B.
Pipe smoking
- C.
Occlusion trauma
- D.
Strong mastication
Correct Answer
A. Hard brush using and strong brushingExplanation
Hard brush using and strong brushing can cause tooth abrasion because the excessive force and friction applied to the teeth can wear down the enamel over time. This can lead to the exposure of dentin, which is a softer layer of the tooth, making it more susceptible to damage and decay. It is important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and practice gentle brushing techniques to prevent tooth abrasion.Rate this question:
