a. Bulla
b. Vesicle
c. Lobule
d. Pustule

A lobule is described as a segment or lobe that is part of a whole. A bulla is a large,
elevated lesion that contains serous fluid and may look like a blister. A vesicle is a small,
elevated lesion that contains serous fluid. Pustules are circumscribed elevations
containing pus.

2) A lesion with a sessile base is described as
a. An ulcer.
b. Stem like.
c. Pedunculated.
d. Flat and broad.
ANS: d
Sessile describes the base of a lesion that is flat and broad. An ulcer is a break in the

ANS: d
The compound odontoma is initially identified radiographically as a radiopaque area in
which tooth structure can be identified. No clinical component exists.
Mandibular tori are identified clinically as areas of exostosis on the lingual aspects of
mandibular premolars. Fordyce granules are yellow clusters of ectopic sebaceous glands
diagnosed through clinical appearance. Black hairy tongue is diagnosed clinically. The
filiform papillae on the dorsal tongue elongate and become brown or black. Causes
include tobacco, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, chemical rinses, antibiotics, and antacids.
Ref: radiographic diagnosis, page 9 obj: 3
4) Another name for geographic tongue is
a. Median rhomboid glossitis.
b. Benign migratory glossitis.
c. Fissured tongue.
d. Black hairy tongue.
ANS: b
Benign migratory glossitis is another name for geographic tongue. Research suggests
that median rhomboid glossitis is associated with a chronic fungal infection from
candida albicanswer. Sometimes the condition resolves with
Antifungal therapy. Fissured tongue is seen in 5% of the population. It is a variant of
normal. Genetic factors are typically associated with the condition. Black hairy tongue is
caused by a reaction to chemicals, tobacco, hydrogen peroxide, or antacids. The filiform
papillae on the dorsal tongue become elongated and are dark brown to black.
