  1. Fixed bridge 27–31
  2. Implants
  3. Removable partial denture
  4. No treatment
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Removable partial denture

During active chemotherapy, surgical procedures including implant placement are contraindicated due to neutropenia, delayed healing, and infection risk. Fixed bridges require extensive tooth preparation and intensive oral hygiene. A removable partial denture is a non-invasive, easily maintained interim option; definitive implants can be considered once the patient is stable and in remission.
