Question - 1 Add to my task Report

Occlusal correction of natural teeth opposing single complete denture is done at

A. - At time of post insertion recall if required

B. - Before construction of the denture ✓

C. - At time of delivery

D. - At try in

Reference :
B' [Nallaswamy 1" ed 15] Single complete denture opposing natural dentition is not an
uncommon occurrence. Malposed, tipped, or supererupted teeth in the opposite arch make it
difficult to achieve a harmonious balanced occlusion. Occlusal modification of the remaining
natural teeth is usually required prior to the construction of a single complete denture. It is a
pre-prosthetic procedure where in occlusal discrepancies present in the natural teeth are
corrected.

Question - 2 Add to my task Report

Setting time of plaster is influenced by

A. - Water: powder ration

https://dranchalsclasses.org/#/student-answersheet 1/21
4/9/25, 8:10 PM Dr. Anchal Classes

B. - Speed of mixing

C. - Adding of gypsum ✘

D. - All of the above ✓

Reference :
D' [Phillips 11th ed 264-265] The W/P ratio is an important factor in determining the physical
and chemical properties of gypsum products. If W/P ratio increases, the setting time
increases and setting expansion decreases. Within the physical limits, the longer and more
rapidly the plaster is mixed, shorter is the setting time. The setting time can be accelerated by
adding gypsum (< 20%), Potassium sulphate or NaCl (<25%).

Question - 3 Add to my task Report

For primary impressions, impression compound used because

A. - Mucocompressive ✓

B. - Cost effective

C. - More stable.

D. - Thermosetting material

Reference :
'A' [Boucher 12th ed 221] Even a correctly selected stock tray will not fit the denture-bearing
area perfectly. Therefore when the impression is made, it is advisable to select an impression
material that has a relatively high viscosity, thereby allowing the material to compensate more
easily for the deficiencies of the tray. The most suitable materials are alginate (irreversible
hydrocolloid), silicone putty, or impression compound. Impression compound is a
thermoplastic material with a high viscosity. Advantages of impression compound: Recording
impression of some edentulous patient for recording full depth of sulcus so that a denture
with adequate retention can be designed Ability to displace the lingual and buccal soft tissue
sufficiently.

Question - 5 Add to my task Report

The use of selected initial roots in over denture therapy is called

A. - Overlaying denture therapy

B. - Biologic denture therapy

C. - Submucosal vital root retention ✓

D. - Submerged denture therapy

Reference :
'C' [Check Explanation Below] In overdentures anterior abutments are preferred over posterior
abutments since the anterior ridge is more vulnerable to resorption than the posterior ridge.

Question - 6 Add to my task Report

While taking final impression tray should be seated first:

A. - Anteriorly ✓

B. - Posteriorly

C. - Anteriorly or posteriorly depending upon operators choice

D. - Anteriorly and posteriorly simultaneously ✘

Reference :
'A' [Zarb & Bolender 12th ed 229] The correct positioning of tray in the patient's mouth is
essential to make a good final impression. The tray should be seated first anteriorly with labial
notch act as a guide for the placement of the tray in the patient's mouth for making final
impression. This is most easily achieved by observing the position of the labial frenum relative
to the labial notch in the tray when the frenum is positioned with in the notch the index finger
are shifted to the molar region to apply pressure.

Disadvantage of metallic denture base

A. - Increase weight ✘

B. - Retain plaque

C. - Difficult to reline ✓

D. - Difficult to clean

Reference :
'C' [Winkler 2nd ed 313/McCracken Removable Partial Denture 13th ed 48] A metal denture
base is thought by some to have several advantages over a resin base. Thermal conductivity,
lack of bulk with more strength, and dimensional stability head the list of advantages, whereas
high cost, greater weight, inability to be easily rebased, and poor esthetic qualities would be
the chief disadvantages. Its principal disadvantages are that it is difficult to adjust and reline.

Question - 8 Add to my task Report

The forces acting through a fixed partial denture on the abutment tooth should be directed:

A. - As far as possible at right angles to the long axis of the teeth

B. - Parallel to the long axis of the teeth ✓

C. - By decreasing the mesio-distal dimension

D. - None of the above

Reference :
'B' [Tylman 8th ed 67/ Shillingburg 3rd ed 89] Ideally, the forces acting on the abutment tooth
should be parallel to long axis of the tooth and should be within the confines of the root. By
this, the stress is directed vertically which is well tolerated by the periodontium. Narrowing the
buccolingual width of occlusal surfaces of the constructed crowns help to achieve these
desirable forces.

Question - 9 Add to my task Report

Broader coverage of denture base is explained by

A. - Realeffs effect

B. - Benzold-bruce effect

C. - Snow-shoe effect ✓

https://dranchalsclasses.org/#/student-answersheet 4/21
4/9/25, 8:10 PM Dr. Anchal Classes

D. - Metamarism

Reference :
'C' [Stewarts 1st South Asia ed 40] All portions of a residual ridge that can provide support
should be covered by an accurately fitting denture base. Broad coverage permits a favourable
distribution, of stresses, often described as a snowshoe effect

Question - 10 Add to my task Report

Distobuccal border of lower complete denture is 7. fabricated by

A. - Action of masseter on buccinator ✓

B. - Action of buccinator on masseter

C. - Palatoglossus on buccinator

D. - Superior constrictor on masseter ✘

Reference :
'A' [Boucher 12th ed 239] The distobuccal border, at the end of the buccal vestibule, must
converge rapidly to avoid displacement by the contracting masseter muscle, whose anterior
fibers run outside and behind the buccinators muscle in this region. When the masseter
muscle contracts, it pushes inward against the buccinator muscle and produces a bulge into
the mouth. Masseteric notch is formed by action of masseter on buccinator.

Question - 11 Add to my task Report

Upper cast is mounted by

A. - Face bow transfer ✓

B. - Using arbitrary incisal guide articulator ✘

C. - Using three pin articulator

D. - Using centric relation record

Reference :
A' [Boucher's 12 th ed 285] The facebow is a calliper-like device that is used to record the
relationship of the jaws to the opening axis of jaws (TMJ) and to orient the casts in the same
relationship to the opening axis of articulator. Facebow record gives the angulation of the
maxilla in relation to the base of skull.

What is the function of a template during procedure of tooth extraction and insertion of
immediate denture?

A. - Trimming the jagged edge of bone ✓

B. - Conditioning the tissues ✘

C. - To promote healing of socket

D. - To take impression of the edentulous space

Reference :
'A' [Boucher's 12th ed 149] The transparent surgical template reveals the bony spicules on the
ridge, which must be removed. Thus the template will minimize the amount of surgery needed
and helps in proper fitting of denture.

Question - 13 Add to my task Report

Most common difficulty seen when mandibular complete denture with acrylic teeth opposes
natural teeth

A. - Abrasion of acrylic tooth ✘

B. - Mandibular denture fracture

C. - Abrasion of natural teeth

D. - Difficulty in establishing balance occlusion bilaterally ✓

Reference :
'D' [Winkler 2nd ed 417] Single complete denture opposing natural dentition is not an
uncommon occurrence. Malposed, tipped, or supererupted teeth in the opposite arch make it
difficult to achieve a harmonious balanced occlusion. As a result, unfavorable occlusal
relationships exist that tend to displace the denture, causing soreness, mucosal changes, and
ultimately ridge resorption.

Question - 14 Add to my task Report

Distobuccal flange of mandibular denture is influenced by:

A. - Masseter ✓

B. - Buccinator

C. - Temporalis ✘

D. - Platysma

https://dranchalsclasses.org/#/student-answersheet 6/21
4/9/25, 8:10 PM Dr. Anchal Classes

Reference :
'A' [Boucher's 12th ed 239] Labial flange of mandible is determined by buccinator and
masseter. The action of buccinator occurs in a horizontal direction, so it cannot lift the
denture. The distobuccal borders of mandible must converge rapidly to avoid displacement of
denture because of masseter muscle action.

Question - 15 Add to my task Report

If a denture is fabricated at reduced Vertical dimension, then the position of the mandible with
respect to the maxilla will be

A. - Forward ✓

B. - Backward ✘

C. - Superior

D. - No change in position

Reference :
'A' [Boucher's 13th ed 305] A loss of vertical dimension will automatically cause the mandible
to have a more forward position in relation to the maxillae than that at the original occlusal
vertical dimension.

Question - 16 Add to my task Report

The correct comparison of amount of tooth reduction for metal ceramic crown and porcelain
jacket crown is related to:

A. - The facial tooth reduction ✘

B. - The incisal reduction is the same for both

C. - There is more lingual reduction in metal ceramic

D. - There is less lingual reduction in metal ceramic ✓

Reference :
'D' [Shillingburg 3rd ed 142] The tooth reduction on the lingual surface and lingual aspect of
proximal surface of a metal ceramic crown is similar to full metal crown and is less than
porcelain jacket crown. The labial and occlusal reduction is more in PFM than porcelain jacket
crown.

Question - 18 Add to my task Report

The main advantage of a natural glaze applied glaze is that the natural glaze rather than

A. - Is more permanent ✓

B. - Is easier to achieve

C. - Offers better esthetics ✘

D. - Requires a lower firing temperature

Reference :
'A' [Skinners 10th ed 598] Porcelains for PFM, PJC may be characterized with stains and glazes
to provide a more life like appearance. Glazed porcelain is effective in reducing crack
propagation. Self glazing is called natural glaze whereas applied glaze is called add on glaze.
Natural glaze is more permanent than applied glaze.

Question - 19 Add to my task Report

Most common material used as soft liners:

Reference :
'D' [Phillip's 11th ed 750] The most commonly used soft liners are plasticized acrylic resins.
Chemically activated soft liners are supplied in powder form containing poly (methyl
methacrylate) or poly (ethyl methacrylate), which is mixed with liquids containing 60-80%
plasticizer. Other materials that are used as soft liners include: Silicone rubber, plasticized
vinyl polymers, hydrophilic polymers, Phosphazine fluoropolymers, fluoroethylene and
polyvinyl siloxane addition silicones.

Question - 20 Add to my task Report

Index areas are

A. - Alveolar support areas that disclose the reaction bone to additional stresses ✓

B. - Areas which respond earlier to pathologic changes

C. - Alveolar bone areas which respond to treatment

D. - None of the above

Reference :
'A' [McCraken's 11th ed 208] Index areas are those areas of alveolar support that disclose the
reaction of bone to additional stress. Favourable reaction to such stress may be taken as an
indication of future reaction to an added stress load.

Question - 21 Add to my task Report

Lateral movement is produced by anterior translation of one condyle producing rotation about
the

A. - Center in the opposite condyle ✓

B. - Center in the opposite ramus

C. - Center in the opposite angle

D. - Center in the opposite neck

https://dranchalsclasses.org/#/student-answersheet 9/21
4/9/25, 8:10 PM Dr. Anchal Classes

Reference :
A' [Nallaswamy 1st ed 9] Lateral movement produces anterior translation of condyle on
working side and rotation about the centre on the nonworking side (balancing side) Eg:- In
right lateral movement of mandible, right condyle (working side) translates laterally outward
while left condyle (nonworking side) merely rotates in the centre of its axis.

Question - 22 Add to my task Report

A complete denture patient is experiencing chattering sound while talking. What could be the
cause?

A. - Increased vertical dimension ✓

B. - Patient is having neuron muscular problem

C. - Patient must practice on how to talk with denture

D. - Problem with occlusion.

Reference :
'A' [Winkler 2nd ed 190] An audible chattering of teeth can result from two reasons: The use of
porcelain teeth. It is therefore preferred to use plastic teeth. Chattering of teeth can also result
from incorrect determination of the bite height (resting position). The teeth of the upper and
lower jaw are too close to one another and touch each other when speaking, which leads to
the annoying noise. An interocclusal space is a necessity when the mandible is at rest, as it
permits the supporting hard and soft tissues to rest. If the vertical dimension is altered
appreciably in either direction (overclosed or unduly opened), problems in speech and
mastication, as well as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, may result. The patient's
appearance may be adversely affected. A lack of interocclusal distance can create soreness of
the supporting tissues and make the region a target for rapid bone resorption. Clicking of
complete dentures during speech can also be attributed to a vertical dimension that is open.
Most prosthodontists today are in agreement that it is probably better to have the vertical
dimension closed a bit rather than opened.

Question - 23 Add to my task Report

FPD is given from Lateral incisor to second molar. What occlusion will you give -

4/9/25, 8:10 PM Dr. Anchal Classes

D. - Bilateral balanced occlusion

Reference :
B' [Check AIPG 2017 section] As many teeth are being replaced by FPD, an occlusal scheme in
which lateral pressure are distributed to all working side teeth is needed and it is the group
function occlusion. Option 'D' bilateral balanced occlusion is used in 15053 complete
dentures.

Question - 24 Add to my task Report

Articulated diagnostic casts help in the following EXCEPT

A. - Diagnostic wax up to evaluate outcome ✘

B. - Detailed analysis of occlusal plane and occlusion

C. - Fabrication of wax patterns for casting ✓

D. - Performing mock tooth preparation

Reference :
'C' [Rosenstiel 4th ed 42] Articulated diagnostic casts (using a face-bow transfer and centric
relation record) permits a detailed analysis of the occlusal plane and occlusion, and diagnostic
procedures can be performed for a better diagnosis and treatment plan. Tooth preparations
can be "rehearsed" on the casts, and diagnostic waxing procedures can be performed for
evaluating outcome of proposed treatment.

Question - 25 Add to my task Report

Vibrating line is on the

A. - Hard palate ✘

B. - Junction of hard and soft palate

C. - On soft palate ✓

D. - At the junction of muscularis uvulae and palatine muscle

Palatopharyngeal incompetence is treated by?

A. - Palatal lift prosthesis ✓

B. - Obturator prosthesis

C. - Pharyngeal speech prosthesis

D. - Pharyngeal bulb prosthesis

Reference :
'A' [Maxillofacial Rehabilitation by John Beumer 320] Palatal lift prosthesis is useful for
patients with velopharyngeal incompetence who exhibit compromised motor control of the
soft palate & related musculature. The objective of palatal lift prosthesis is to displace the soft
palate to the level of normal palatal elevation, enabling closure by pharyngeal action.

Question - 29 Add to my task Report

Torquing movement in maxillary denture is avoided by?

A. - Adhesion ✘

B. - Cohesion

C. - Surface tension

D. - Border seal ✓

Reference :
'D' [Boucher's 12th ed 438] Lateral torquing forces and horizontal forces are best resisted by
adequate border seal (stability) in maxillary denture, whereas adhesion, cohesion and
interfacial surface tension helps in achieving denture retention i.e., the resistance to removal in
a direction opposite that of insertion.

Question - 30 Add to my task Report

Which is the correct method for impression removal in dentulous patient?

A. - Slowly teased out ✘

B. - Rapid with jerk ✓

C. - Rapid with horizontal direction

teeth. When the patient pronounces the words starting with S, the upper and lower incisors
should approach end to end but not touch. If the upper anterior teeth are placed most
anteriorly, it is difficult to pronounce the linguoalveolar sounds like S, G, Sh, J. The labiodental
sounds F & V are made between the upper incisors and the labiolingual centre to the posterior
third of lower lip. If the upper anterior teeth are too short (set too high up) the V sound will be
more like an F. if they are too long (set too far down) the F will sound more like V.

recorded when the Frankfort plane is 30 degree below the horizontal and tongue is firmly
positioned against mandibular anterior teeth.

Transfer of hinge opening axis is compulsory in:

A. - Partially edentulous ✘

B. - Complete edentulous

C. - Orthodontics

D. - Planning to change vertical dimensions ✓

Reference :
'D' [Nallaswamy 1st ed 535/ Winkler 2nd ed 185] Hinge axis is an imaginary line passing
through the centre of the condyles when the mandible rotates in the sagittal plane. The axis of
rotation which coincides with the CR position of the mandible is called true hinge axis.
Patient's hinge axis can be transferred into the articulator (semiadjustable or fully adjustable)
with the help of face bow, A face bow transfer is essential when cusp teeth are used and also
to change the occlusal vertical dimensions. Arbitrary mounting of maxillary casts without a
face bow transfer can introduce errors in occlusion of prosthesis. So transferring the hinge

axis is must when we are planning for full mouth rehabilitation and in patients who require
increase in vertical dimension.

A man living in tropical area came for prosthetic treatment. Which type of base plate wax is
used in the process

A. - Type 1

B. - Type 2 ✘

C. - Type 3 ✓

D. - Type 4

Reference :
'C' [Craig's 11th ed 442-43] The requirements for dental baseplate wax are listed in Table which
summarizes ANSI/ ADA Specification No. 24 (ISO 12163). Three types of wax are included:
Type 1 is a soft wax for building contours and veneers, Type 2 is a hard wax to be used for
patterns to be tried in the mouth in temperate climates. Type 3 is an extra-hard wax for
patterns to be tried in the mouth in tropical weather. The maximum flow allowed at any given
temperature decreases rapidly from Type 1 to Type 3. The flow requirements of Type 3
baseplate wax are comparable to those of the Type 2 (hard) inlay wax, with less flow allowed
for the baseplate wax at 45° C.

Reason for improper impression which occurred due to setting of alginate before insertion
into mouth

A. - Using hot water for mixing ✓

B. - Early loading of material

C. - Addition of less powder to water ✘

D. - Mixing at room temperature

Reference :
A' [Phillips 11th ed 242] • The clinician can safely influence the setting time by altering the
temperature of the water. • Higher the temperature, shorter is the setting time (1min reduction
in setting time occurs for each 10°C of temperature increase). • Materials exhibit different
degrees of sensitivity to temperature. The temperature of the mixing water should be
controlled carefully within a degree or two of a standard temperature, usually 20°C, so that a
constant and reliable setting time can be obtained It is better to select a product with the

desired setting time and less sensitivity to temperature change rather than to resort to other
modifications in the manipulation technique.

Question - 48 Add to my task Report

The masseteric notch in distobuccal corners of the mandibular denture is due to

A. - Action of buccinators on masseter

B. - Action of masseter on buccinators ✓

C. - Action of palatoglossus on buccinators

D. - Action of superior constrictor on masseter ✘

Reference :
'B' [Repeat AIPG 2017Q/ check Q27 in impression procedures] The masseter muscle acting on
the buccinator muscle forms a notch in the impression and this notch is known as the
masseteric notch.

Question - 49 Add to my task Report

What is the amount of occlusal reduction required for metal ceramic facing on the non-
functional cusp?

A. - 0.5-1 mm ✓

B. - 1-1.5 mm

C. - 1.5-2 mm

D. - 2-2.5 mm ✘

Reference :
'A' [Rosensteil 3rd ed 261/Refer explanation of Q.No.25] In the question it is asked for amount
of occlusal reduction for metal ceramic facing i.e., it is a complete metal crown with buccal or
facial ceramic facing. So the question is related to complete metal crown. A minimum of 0.6
mm of clearance is needed for adequate strength for non-functional cusp.
