What would be a contraindication to a patient receiving fixed prosthodontics?

  1. Poor oral hygiene

  2. Allergic to local anesthesia

  3. Diabetes

  4. High blood pressure

The correct answer is: Poor oral hygiene

A contraindication refers to a factor or condition that would make a particular treatment or procedure inadvisable. Therefore, the other options listed (B Allergic to local anesthesia, C: Diabetes, D: High blood pressure) are not direct contraindications to receiving fixed prosthodontics, although they may require extra precautions to ensure the safety and success of the treatment. Poor oral hygiene, on the other hand, can make it difficult for the fixed prosthodontics to properly adhere and function in the mouth, making it a contraindication for the procedure. It is important for patients to maintain good oral hygiene before and after receiving any type of dental treatment.
