Question 76 · LDEK · Fixed restorations

The retention of fixed partial dentures depends on the convergence angle of the prepared teeth. The optimal inclination of the walls amounts to 0.5-0.6mm. That corresponds with the value of:

  1. A. 5º - 10º.
  2. B. 5º - 6º.
  3. C. 4º - 13º.
  4. D. 10º - 15º.
  5. E. 10º - 20º.
Hint

Convert a wall inclination of about 0.5-0.6 mm over a typical abutment height into an angle with simple trigonometry.
