Question 178 · LDEK · Acrylic partial dentures

Indicate the factors that need to be considered when planning the upper removable partial denture bearing area:

1) the number of remaining teeth;
2) condition of remaining teeth;
3) topography of edentulous spaces;
4) concavity of the hard palate;
5) type of a planned partial denture.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2,3,5.
  2. B. 1,2,4,5.
  3. C. 1,3,4,5.
  4. D. 2,3,4,5.
  5. E. 2,3,5.
Hint

Base extent depends on how much support the teeth can give and on the denture type; ask whether palatal vault affects extent or rather shape.
