  1. Which cement type is most appropriate for retrievable implant-supported crowns requiring periodic maintenance access?

    Answer: Temporary provisional cement with low retentive strength

    Temporary provisional cement allows retrievability for maintenance while providing adequate short-term retention.

  2. When designing a screw-retained implant crown, what is the ideal screw access channel angulation relative to the occlusal surface?

    Answer: 0–15 degrees off-axis to avoid esthetic compromise

    Screw channels within 0–15 degrees of the implant long axis maintain adequate structural integrity and esthetics.

  3. A patient presents with a fractured zirconia implant crown three months after delivery. The most likely contributing factor is:

    Answer: Excessive occlusal contacts in lateral excursion

    Lateral excursive contacts create bending stresses that exceed zirconia's fracture toughness in unsupported areas.

  4. An implant-supported fixed partial denture (FPD) pontic rests on tissue. Which pontic design minimizes tissue irritation while maintaining cleansability?

    Answer: Modified ridge-lap pontic with concave lingual surface

    The modified ridge-lap design provides esthetic contour on the buccal while allowing floss access on the lingual.

  5. What is the primary purpose of using a torque wrench when seating an abutment on an implant?

    Answer: To achieve manufacturer-specified preload without plastic deformation

    Correct torque establishes optimal screw preload, clamping the abutment without yielding the screw material.

  6. Which occlusal scheme is generally recommended for a single implant-supported molar crown in a dentate patient?

    Answer: Light centric stops with freedom in centric and no excursive contacts on the implant crown

    Light centric loading with excursive disclusion protects the implant-bone interface from lateral overload.

  7. During final impression for an implant crown, a snap-on impression coping is used. Which technique does this describe?

    Answer: Closed-tray (indirect) impression technique

    Closed-tray technique uses a coping that remains in the mouth; the impression records the external form and the coping snaps out after set.
