D. 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:
- A.
  
  I clasp
- B.
  
  Y clasp
- C.
  
  T clasp
- D.
  
  U clasp
Correct Answer
B. 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.

- A.
  
  Y clasp
- B.
  
  I clasp
- C.
  
  T clasp
- D.
  
  U clasp
Correct Answer
B. 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:
- A.
  
  Splinting abutment with adjacent teeth
- B.
  
  Placing distal rests on the distal abutment
- C.
  
  Keeping a light occlusion on the distal extensions
- D.
  
  Regular relining of distal extensions
Correct Answer
C. 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.

- A.
  
  Ridge area
- B.
  
  Elevated mid suture line
- C.
  
  Rugae area
- D.
  
  Palatal torus
Correct Answer
D. 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.

- A.
  
  Marginal ridge should be reduced by 25 mm
- B.
  
  Marginal ridge should be reduced by 1 mm
- C.
  
  The outline to have greater length than width
- D.
  
  The outline to have greater width than length
Correct Answer
B. 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?:
- A.
  
  Pipe smoking
- B.
  
  Occlusion trauma
- C.
  
  Hard brush using and strong brushing
- D.
  
  Strong mastication
Correct Answer
C. 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.

- C.
  
  Surveyor to have reproducible position of the cast on the surveyor
- D.
  
  Surveyor for recording the relation of the cast to the surveyor
Correct Answer
D. 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.

  Occlusion, the tongue touches the lingual aspects of the anterior teeth
- C.
  
  Retruded contact, the tongue touches the palate
- D.
  
  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.

50.The kennedy classification of this RPD is:
- A.
  
  Class IV mod II
- B.
  
  Class II mod I
- C.
  
  Class I mod II
- D.
  
  Class I mod I
Correct Answer
D. Class I mod I

Explanation
The Kennedy classification system is used to classify removable partial dentures (RPDs) based on the edentulous areas in the dental arch. Class I mod I refers to a situation where there is bilateral edentulous areas posterior to the remaining natural teeth. In this case, the RPD design would involve a major connector that connects the bilateral edentulous areas and minor connectors connecting the remaining natural teeth. Therefore, the correct answer is Class I mod I.
