26. A tissue undercut may prohibit the selection of
a. Infrabulge clasp

a. The presence of an inoperable torus
28. The most logical mouth preparation sequence is
a. 1, 3, 4, 2
29. The carbon line scribed on a potential abutment tooth during surveying represents
a. Height of contour of tooth
30. In general, a lingual plate major connector covering periodontally involved teeth should be
supported
a. With rests on all covered teeth
31. The cast upon which a PRDP wax pattern is formed is referred to as an
a. Refractory cast
32. Indications for a lingual plate major connector includes
a. A & B & C
33. Placing the superior edge of the distal guiding plate at the inferior edge of the distal guiding
plane will allow stress releasing action of the RPI clasp assembly
a. True
34. Statement 1: at least 3mm of vertical space between the active floor of the mouth and gingival
margins of the teeth is required for a mandibular lingual bar major connector. Statement 2: in
the maxillary arch, the border of the major connector should be at least 2-3mm from the
gingival margin or teeth
 a. Both statements are false
35. Pick which disciplines of dentistry which could be involved when correcting a supra-erupted
tooth (pick 4)
a. Orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, restorative
36. Which statement is TRUE regarding the reciprocal clasp arm (pick 3)?
a. It is never placed in an undercut. It can be placed on the buccal. It must be part of the
circumferential clasp design
37. The radiographic examination of a PRDP patient should include an examination of
