b. Vesicle
c. Lobule
d. Pustule
ANS: C
A lobule is described as a segment or lobe that is part of a whole. A bulla is a large, elevated
N us
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.

c. pedunculated.
d. flat and broad.

3. Which condition is not diagnosed through clinical appearance?
O o
a. Mandibular tori
b. Fordyce granules
c. Black hairy tongue
d. Compound odontoma
C la
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
S
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.

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
albicans. 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.

O o
a. Palatal cyst
b. Torus palatinus
c. Mixed tumor
d. Ranula
C la
ANS: B
A torus palatinus is developmental and bony hard and is found on the midline of the palate.
Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical appearance. A palatal cyst appears radiolucent on a
S
radiographic examination and is not diagnosed through clinical appearance. A mixed tumor or
pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of salivary gland origin, found unilaterally off the
midline of the hard palate. It is composed of tumor tissue that is not bony hard to palpation.
Ranula is a term used for a mucocele-like lesion that forms unilaterally on the floor of the
mouth.

, 6. The gray-white opalescent film seen on the buccal mucosa of 85% of black adults is a variant
of normal that requires no treatment and is termed
a. linea alba.
b. leukoedema.
c. leukoplakia.
d. white sponge nevus.
ANS: B
Leukoedema is a diffuse opalescence most commonly seen on the buccal mucosa in black
individuals. Linea alba is a “white line” that extends anteroposteriorly on the buccal mucosa
along the occlusal plane. It is most prominent in patients who have a clenching or grinding
habit. Leukoplakia is a clinical term for a white lesion, the cause of which is unknown. White
sponge nevus is a genetic (autosomal dominant) trait. Clinically, it is characterized by a soft
white, folded (or corrugated) oral mucosa. A thick layer of keratin produces the whitening.
