Which of the following is an intraoral factor that must be considered when the dentist is recommending a removable prosthesis for a patient?

Question

Select one:
a. Age
b. Physical health
c. Musculature
d. Dietary habits

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

c. Musculature

Musculature refers to the condition and function of the muscles in the mouth and jaw, which can significantly impact the retention and stability of a removable prosthesis. Factors like age, physical health, and dietary habits are important in the overall assessment of a patient, but they do not directly pertain to the intraoral environment in the same way that musculature does.
