Correct answer: A. A fixed partial denture replacing teeth #10 to #14
- A. Correct. Ante's Law (abutment root surface area should equal or exceed that of teeth being replaced) applies to FIXED partial dentures / bridges.
- B. A single crown replaces nothing, so Ante's Law doesn't apply.
- C. Ante's Law is a fixed-prosthodontic abutment principle, not an RPD design rule.
- D. Full-arch prostheses are evaluated differently; the classic application is a multi-unit FPD.
