1. A diastema is a space between two teeth in the same arch. When this occurs between
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


sh the maxillary central incisors, it is often the result of a pronounced labial frenum.

d. Both statements are false. sh sh sh




ANS: A sh


A space, or lack of contact area, between any two teeth in the same arch is called a
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


diastema. When a diastema occurs between the maxillary central incisors, it is often the
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


result of a pronounced labial frenum extending to the crest of the alveolar ridge and
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


possibly over the ridge. This band of firm connective tissue causes the erupting incisors
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


to be pushed aside resulting in a diastema, or space. Correction of a diastema usually
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


involves surgical removal, or cutting, of the frenal tissue between teeth.

2. Torus palatinus is seen on the
sh sh sh sh sh


a. soft palate sh


b. hard palate sh


c. alveolar ridge sh


d. oral pharynx sh




ANS: B sh


Torus palatinus is excess bone growth and occurs in the midline of the hard palate. It
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


may grow to varying sizes and is generally only a problem when the construction of a
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


maxillary denture is necessary. In health, such bony protuberances, or excess bone
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


growths, do not occur on the soft palate, alveolar ridge, or oral pharynx.

Contraction of the mylohyoid muscle raises the tongue. The palatopharyngeal muscle and
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


the palatoglossal muscle form the posterolateral borders of the oral cavity. There is not a
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


muscle by the name of levator glossal.

4. The oral vestibule is partially bordered by the lips and cheeks. The oral cavity proper
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


sh extends posteriorly to the soft palate.
sh sh sh sh sh


a. Both statements are true. sh sh sh


b. The first statement is true; the second statement is false.
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


c. The first statement is false; the second statement is true.
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


d. Both statements are false. sh sh sh




ANS: B sh


The oral vestibule is the space or potential space that exists between the lips or cheeks
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


and teeth. In an edentulous person, the vestibule would extend between the lips or cheeks
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


and the alveolar ridges. The oral cavity proper is surrounded by teeth or alveolar ridges
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


and extends all the way back to the palatine tonsils. This includes the region from the
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


floor of the mouth upward to the hard and soft palates.

b. It is sh sh located at the midline. sh sh sh

d. It is sh sh necessary for swallowing. sh sh




ANS: D sh


The uvula is a downwardly projecting muscular tissue located at the midline of the most
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


posterior portion of the hard palate. It is NOT necessary for swallowing.

6. The circumvallate papillae are located on the hard palate, buccal mucosa, and floor of
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh

sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh

All papillae listed in both statements are located on the tongue with the exception of the

incisive papilla, which is located on the hard palate. Note that the incisive papilla is a
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


singular structure, thus the different spelling. There are no papillae located on either the

buccal mucosa or the floor of the mouth.

7. Each of the following structures can readily be viewed when examining the oral

sh cavity EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


a. Fovea palatinae sh

c. Laryngeal pharynx sh

ANS: C sh


The laryngeal pharynx is located below the oral pharynx and cannot be seen while
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


examining the oral cavity. The fovea palatinae, the tonsillar pillars, and the sublingual
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


fold can be seen when examining the oral cavity. Fovea palatinae are small depressions
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


in mucosa on either side of the posterior nasal spine indicating the junction of the hard
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


and soft palate. Tonsillar pillars are folds of tissue that partially surround the tonsils.

ANS: D sh


The anterior and posterior pillars are located posterior to the soft palate. The posterior
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


pillar is also called the palatopharyngeal arch or fold. The anterior pillar is also called
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


the palatoglossal arch or fold. The tonsils lie between the anterior and posterior pillars.
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


The incisive papilla and rugae are located on the anterior portion of the hard palate. The
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


greater palatine foramina are located in the posterior portions of the hard palate lingual to
sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh


the second and third maxillary molars.
