Solution. Ans.166. [ref,Bouchers 12th ed pg 217,226, Winker 2nd ed pg 111]asking the patients to say ah in short vigorous spurts will
help in visualizing anterior vibrating line ,and asking patients to say ah in normal slow manner helps in visualizing posterior vibrating
line

Fischers angle is formed by the intersection of the protusive and non working side condylar paths ,as viewed in the :
a. Horizontal plane
b. Reverse plane
c. Sagittal plane
d. Oblique plane
Solution. Ans.176 [refer glossary of prosthodontic terms]
-Fischers angle is defined as the difference between the saggital condylar inclinations during protrusive and lateral excursions on the
non working side or its the angle between the protrusive and non working condylar path viewed in the saggital plane.Its average value
is 5 degrees.
Answer. c
(177).
Bennefit angle is formed between sagital plane and average path of the advancing condyle as viewed in the horizontal plane during :
a. Medial movement
b. Lateral movement
c. Centric freedom
d. Inter cuspal movement
Solution. Ans.177 [refer,winkler 2nd ed pg 159]

Movement of denture base was the least in patient with poor ridge when :
a. 20 teeth were used
b. 33 teeth were used
c. 0 teeth were used
d. Inverted cusp were used
Solution. Ans.180-{ref. winkler 2nd ed pg 237,238}
cuspless teeth also called as non anatomic teeth or monoplane teeth . in cases with the highly resorbed ridges, cuspless teeth are
preferred as they do not get locked and displace the dentures during lateral movements . during function , the monoplane teeth
eliminate inclined plane forces which create displacement of the denture base.

A minor connector contacting the axial surface of an abutment should not be located at :
a. Flat surface
b. Cancavo - convex surface
c. convex surface
d. Concave surface
Solution. Ans.184-[Ref . mc cracken 11th ed pg 55]
Minor connector contacting the axial surface of an abutment should not be located on a convex surface . instead it should be located in
an embrasure(interproximally)
Answer. c

The sublingual bar can be used for mandibular removable partial dentures where the height of the floor of the mouth in relation of the
free gingival margins will be :
a. less than 6 mm
b. Greater than 6 mm
c. less than 8 mm
d. more than 8 mm
Solution. Ans.185-{ref. mc crackens 11th ed pg 61]
The sublingual bar should not be used for mandibular removable partial dentures where the height of the floor of the mouth in relation to
the free gingival margins will be less then 6 mm
Answer. a

For strength and rigidity the vertical height of a finished lingual bar should be at least :
a. 6 mm
b. 7 mm
c. 4 mm
d. 5 mm
Solution. Ans.186-[ref steward 3rd ed pg 33]
The minimum height of major connector should be 5.0 mm , and there should be 3.0 mm of span between superior border of lingual bar
and gingival margins . hence ,minimum vertical height required for lingual bar is 8.0 mm
Answer. d

a. out of contact
b. In contact with incisal table
c. Removed from articulation
d. Non significant
Solution. Ans.192 [refer,schillingberg 3rd ed pg 67]
-while setting condylar guidance ,the incisal guide pin should be raised out of contact with the incisal table.
Answer. a
