A patient is missing teeth #17, #18, #19, and #30, #31, #32. Where should the rest seats be placed for a removable partial denture (RPD)?

  1. On the cingulum of the canines
  2. On the mesial of #20 and #29
  3. On the distal of #20 and #29
  4. On the occlusal surface of #21 and #28
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. On the mesial of #20 and #29

Mesial rest seats provide better support and stability for the RPD framework, reducing tipping forces on the abutment teeth.
