Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question
Which occlusal scheme is most appropriate for this fixed partial denture?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Mutually protected occlusion
Mutually protected occlusion is the concept in which anterior teeth protect the posteriors during excursions (disclusion) and posteriors protect the anteriors in maximum intercuspation. This is the standard preferred scheme in fixed prosthodontics — especially when implants are present, because implants tolerate axial loading best and minimal lateral forces.10. Periodontics
