Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question
A maxillary arch is missing both central and lateral incisors as a single edentulous span that crosses the midline, anterior to all remaining teeth. This is which Kennedy classification?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Class IV
- A. Class I is bilateral edentulous areas posterior to the remaining teeth.
- B. Class II is a unilateral edentulous area posterior to the remaining teeth.
- C. Class III is a unilateral edentulous area with teeth both anterior and posterior to it.
- D. Correct. Class IV is a single, bilateral (crossing the midline) edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth—by rule, Class IV has no modification spaces.
