The document contains questions that may be asked in a prosthodontics exam. It includes questions about various topics such as: 1. Impression techniques for complete dentures, tooth preparation principles for maxillary complete dentures, and types of direct retainers for removable partial dentures. 2. Biological considerations for preparing teeth to serve as abutments, factors that affect retention, support and stability, and the differences between tooth-supported and mucosa-supported removable partial dentures. 3. Components of removable partial dentures like major connectors, minor connectors, rests and rest seats.
