On average, the distance from the base of the gingival sulcus to the alveolar bone is:
- A . 2.0 mm.
- B . 3.0 mm.
- C . 4.0 mm.
- D . 5.0 mm.
The avoidance of open cervical embrasures can BEST be achieved by placing the interproximal contact points relative to the interproximal:
- A . margins
- B . bone
- C . papilla height
- D . sulcus base
What does platform switching describe?
- A . A reduced offset of the diameter of the abutment to the diameter of the implant
- B . An increased offset of the diameter of the abutment to the diameter of the implant
- C . The contours of the final crown over the implant
- D . The bone level of the adjacent teeth
Which type of restoration will increase its micromechanical retention after etching with hydrofluoric acid?
- A . Press-on metal
- B . Alumina-procera
- C . Lithium disilicate glass
- D . Zirconia dioxide
Most occlusal splints have one primary function; what is it?
- A . To alter an occlusion so it does not interfere with complete seating of the condyles in centric relation
- B . To increase the vertical dimension, taking all the loading forces off the TMJs and transferring the load to the teeth
- C . To relieve symptoms of orofacial pain since direct occlusal equilibrium does not have the same potential for the relief of symptoms
- D . To avoid having to remove any tooth structure by equilibrating the teeth to perfect the occlusion
What is the principal determinant of posterior occlusal form?
- A . Elevator muscles
- B . Vertical dimension
- C . Anterior guidance
- D . Lateral excursions
Functional occlusion is influenced by side shift as follows: the greater the side shift, the restoration fabricated should exhibit:
- A . Wider cusps on posterior teeth.
- B . Longer cusps on posterior teeth.
- C . Wider fossas and marginal ridges.
- D . Improved strength to withstand balancing interferences.
In what position of the TMJ can the mandible accept firm compressive loading with no signs of tenderness or tension?
- A . Centric relation
- B . Centric occlusion
- C . Lateral excursion
- D . Maximum opening
When using dual-cured resin cements, the use of light activated curing is:
- A . unnecessary as the self-curing mechanism results in maximum polymerization
- B . mainly advantageous to speed the clean-up process.
- C . necessary to obtain maximum degree of polymerization
- D . helpful in color stabilization
Maxillary anterior tooth length can be evaluated using which of the following phonetic guidelines:
- A . "S" sounds can be utilized to determine length relative to the vermilion border of the lower lip.
- B . "F" sounds can be utilized to determine length relative to the lower incisors.
- C . "E" sounds can be utilized to determine length relative to the midway point between the upper and lower lips.
- D . "M" sounds can be utilized to determine length relative to lower incisors.
