1.
 For premium esthetics, laboratory-fabricated temporaries are:
  a. splinted with wire instead of fiber
  b. made of ceramic
  c. made using prefabricated denture tooth facings
  d. none of the above
     
2.
 Properly fitted laboratory–fabricated temporaries:
  a. are long-lasting because the temporaries are processed under heat and pressure
  b. help to create ideal emergence profiles for optimal gingival health
  c. help to accelerate healing where gingival contouring has been performed
  d. all of the above
   
3.
 If the temporization period is longer than one year:
  a. wire reinforcement should be considered
  b. a stronger temporary cement such as Durelon (polycarboxylate cement) should be considered
  c. longer lasting temporaries like Transition Crowns and Bridges® may be preferred
  d. all of the above
   
4.
 Lab-fabricated temporaries are prescribed:
  a. for many full-arch and full mouth cases
  b. for four units or less in over half the cases
  c. mostly for anterior cases
  d. all of the above
   
5.
 When opening a vertical dimension, an accepted measurement to consider for a dental Class I patient, from maxillary CEJ to mandibular CEJ (Clinical Case 1):
  a. should be about 18 mm
  b. should be about 14 mm
  c. should not be more than about 12 mm
  d. none of the above
   
6.
 When having the lab construct full-arch or full-mouth provisionals that will be used to open the bite, the lab should be instructed to overbuild the vertical dimension by 1 mm to:
  a. allow for changes in the ambient humidity
  b. provide a more masculine look
  c. correct for the counter-rotation of the bur
  d. allow for occlusal adjustments
   
7.
 Depending on the tooth preparation technique that is used:
  a. providing the minimum tooth reduction of 1.5 mm for PFM or all-ceramic crowns also helps with
temporaries by providing adequate room for the thickness of the temporaries
  b. with the use of 1.5 mm depth cuts, lab-fabricated temporaries should go right to place because they are built on a model with about 1 mm or less of reduction
  c. temporaries can be built on a model with 2 mm of reduction for added strength, although this requires more aggressive tooth preparation
  d. all of the above
   
8.
 When cementing temporary restorations, gingival embrasures should be left open slightly:
  a. to allow the patient to swish water through them
  b.

so as not to run the risk of impinging on the papilla and causing it to recede
  c. so the patient can run a floss-threader through them
  d. all of the above
   
9.
 To make the reline procedure easier:
  a. fill the temporaries with Vaseline before placement to try them into place
  b. use methyl methacrylate on the facial, lingual and internal surfaces fo the temps
  c. you may wish to coat the exterior of the temporaries with Vaseline (or glycerin, or wipe with brush to remove any excess) to prevent the reline material from sticking to the facial surface
  d. none of the above
   
10.
 For lab-fabricated provisionals:
  a. permanent cement should be used for splinted temporaries
  b. a sonic scaler can be used to remove temporary cement when provisionals are removed, especially if polycarboxylate temporary cement is used
  c. splinted temporaries must be sectioned for ease of removal
  d. none of he above
