Question 235 · LDEK · Acrylic partial dentures

The possibility of limiting the upper mucosa-supported removable partial denture bearing area depends on:

1) good anatomical condition of the denture bearing area;
2) number of teeth;
3) favorable location of teeth;
4) presence of natural teeth, well anchored in their sockets, opposing edentulous spaces;
5) patient’s use of a mucosa-supported removable partial or complete denture in the opposing dental arch.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2,3,4.
  2. B. 1,2,3,5.
  3. C. 1,2,4,5.
  4. D. 1,3,4,5.
  5. E. 2,3,4,5.
Hint

A smaller palatal plate is possible when retention and support are good and the forces from the opposing arch are low.
