Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question
During complete denture fabrication, at what angulation are anterior teeth typically set to the occlusal plane in wax?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 20 degrees
- A. INCORRECT — 30 degrees would result in excessive anterior tooth labial inclination.
- B. CORRECT (per source highlight) — 20 degrees is highlighted in the source as the answer for tooth setting angulation in wax. Some sources cite 10° labial inclination but 20° total angulation relative to vertical may be intended.
- C. INCORRECT — 100 degrees is not a valid tooth-setting angulation.
- D. INCORRECT (possibly correct — see flag) — 10 degrees of labial tilt is cited in some prosthodontic texts for the angulation of anterior teeth relative to the occlusal plane during setup.
