Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question

The main factor for successful fabrication of this fixed prosthesis is:

  1. Path of insertion
  2. Occlusal scheme
  3. Pontic design
  4. Patient esthetic demands
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Path of insertion

  • A. Correct. A common (parallel) path of insertion among abutments is essential for the FPD to seat and be retentive.
  • B. Occlusal scheme is important but secondary to the prosthesis being able to seat.
  • C. Pontic design affects esthetics/hygiene but the prosthesis must first have a viable insertion path.
  • D. Esthetic demands guide design but do not govern mechanical feasibility of fabrication.
