What is the primary limitation of using a horseshoe or U-shaped connector in class II and class IV conditions?
Support from the palate is limited
In which situation is a complete palate major connector contraindicated?
When distal extension denture bases are required
What is a potential complication of using a complete palate major connector?
Inflammation and hyperplasia of the soft tissues
What is the primary advantage of using a horseshoe or U-shaped connector?
It is strong and rigid
In which situation would a horseshoe or U-shaped connector be preferred over a complete palate major connector?
When many anterior teeth are to be replaced
What is a common disadvantage of using a horseshoe or U-shaped connector?

What is the primary purpose of using rubber abrasive wheels and points in the framework?
To polish difficult-to-access portions of the framework
Why is it important to maximize the finish of the clasp arms and other parts of the framework that contact teeth?
To avoid surface decalcification of the abutment
What is the purpose of coating the tissue surface of the framework with pressure indicating paste?
To indicate premature contacts in the framework
What is the typical problem encountered during framework try-in?
The framework is difficult to remove from the stone cast
What is the next step after the framework is tried-in and all premature contacts are eliminated?
The framework is forwarded to the laboratory for the fabrication of the temporary denture base and occlusal rims
What is the advantage of using pressure indicating paste during framework try-in?
It helps to detect premature contacts in the framework
What is the primary reason all cast circumferential clasps should not be used to engage the mesiobuccal undercut of an abutment adjacent to the distal edentulous space?
To prevent interference with the edentulous space
Which type of clasp is used when the retentive undercut on the abutment tooth is located adjacent to the edentulous space?
Reverse circlet clasp
What is the advantage of vertical projection or bar clasps over other types of clasps?
It covers less tooth structure
In which type of edentulous condition would a ring clasp be used?
Distal edentulous space with a distolingual undercut
What is the primary characteristic of intracoronal direct retainers?
They have a part or the whole of the retentive components located within the anatomical contour of the abutment teeth
How are bar clasps classified?
Based on the shape of the retentive terminal
What type of material is commonly used to make a restoration?
Resin
How does a restoration retain its position?
By using clasps
Why is it important to maintain space in younger patients after recent extractions or traumatic loss of teeth?
To allow adjacent teeth to reach sufficient maturity
What is a potential benefit of maintaining space in adult patients after recent extractions or traumatic loss of teeth?
To prevent undesirable migration and extrusion of adjacent teeth
What is one of the primary reasons for using TRPD?
To establish a new occlusal relationship
What can be used as an interim RPD in some cases?
An existing RPD with modifications
