increase the effectiveness of the seal

D. to improve retention and to increase tongue space

Answer: to increase the capacity of the underlying structures to withstand the stress due to biting force
and to increase the effectiveness of the seal



Q3: A reline is indicated on any denture when the diagnostic information indicates that a reline will effectively
solve the patient's chief complaint—when the denture base adaptation is the major defect in the prosthesis.

A reline is contraindicated when there is excessive overclosure of the vertical dimension—a large decrease in
vertical dimension. In this case, new dentures are indicated at the proper vertical dimension.

A. both statements are true

fabricated. The ideal way to do this is:

A. fabricate the maxillary immediate denture first

Answer: the preservation of the alveolar ridge
