Q.

During the selection of shade for a fixed prosthodontics, the value of a tooth depends upon the:

 Density of hue
 Intensity of the color
 Metamerism of the basic color
 Relative whiteness or blackness of its colors
 Saturation of color

Q. Which of the following tooth is the least desirable to use as an abutment for a fixed partial
denture?

 Tooth with pulpul involvement

 Tooth with minimal coronal structure
 Tooth rotated and tipped out of line
 Tooth with short, tapered root with long clinical crown
 Tilted tooth

Q. What kind of pontic design is usually used for anterior teeth?

 Ridge lap pontic

 Modified ridge lap pontic
 Sanitary pontic
 Ovate pontic
 Conical pontic

Q. The disadvantage of using sanitary pontic used for replacing missing mandibular molar is

 Entrapment of food particles

 Easy cleaning
 Good esthetics
 Impaired oral hygiene
 Provides normal function

Q. The type of margin recommended for preparing a tooth for an all ceramic crown is

 Shoulder
 Heavy chamfer
 Shoulder with bevel
 Feather edge
 Knife edge

Q. The following are factors that would affect retention and resistance form of the tooth perperation
EXCEPT.

 Rounded line angles

  Axial wall height
 Taper of the preparation
 Surface area coverage
 Type of luting agent

Q. During tooth prepation ideally where should a crown margin be placed in relation to the gingival
crest?

 Supragingival
 Subingival
 Equigingival
 In ename
 In dentine

Q. Which of the following features will not improve the retention and resistance form of crown?

 Grooves and boxes

 Parallelism of preparation
 Multiple paths of insertion
 Maximum surface area included in the preparation
 Roughness of surface being cemented

Q. Bevealing the functional cusps during a crown preparation for posterior tooth fulfills which
principle of tooth preparation?

 Preservation of tooth structure

 Retention and resistance
 Structural durability
 Marginal integrity
 Esthetics

Q. Ante’s law used for planning of ficed partial dentures concerns the

 Degree of tipping allowable in an abutment tooth

 Amount of curvature acceptable In the plan of occlusion
 Amount of increase in retentive factors with a full crown versus a partial veneer crown
 Crown:root ratio
 None of the above.

Q. Chemomechanical tissue retraction during impression taking for fixed partial dentures provides
access primarily by

 Displacing the gingival tissue laterally away from the tooth

 Displacing the gingival tissue apically
 Tearing the gingival attatchment slightly
 Chemically shrinking the gingival tissues
 Producing hypertrophy of tissues
Q. A temporary crown should fulfill the same general requirements as the final restorations EXCEPT
for.

 Durability
 Esthetics
 Occlusal contact
 Marginal adaptation
 Maintain periodontal health

Q.The patient complains of sensivity a few days after cementation of a fixed partial denture with
polycarboxylate cement. What is the most likely cause?

 Irritation from cement

 A loose retainer
 Premature occlusion
 An open margin
 None of the above

Q. One of the chief disadvantages of using polyether impression material for fixed prosthodontics is
its

 Poor dimensional stability

 Poor odor and taste
 Weak tear resistance
 Hydrophobicity
 Biocompatability

Q. Which of the following is the a single most important predictor of clinical success of a casted post
and core?

 Amount of remaining coronal tooth structure

 Post length
 Post diameter
 Post design and shape
 Positive horizontal stop
