• B. Median rhomboid glossitis . CORRECT ANSWER: This condition is a
benign condition of unknown cause that research has suggested may be associated
with chronic fungal infection by Candida albicans. Clinically, a flat or slightly
raised oval or rectangular erythematous area in the midline of the dorsal surface of
the tongue, beginning at the junction of the anterior and middle thirds and
extending posterior to the circumvallate papillae. This area is devoid of filiform
papiallae, giving a smooth texture.
A. Fissured tongue
B. Median rhomboid glossitis
C. Hairy tongue
D. Erythema migrans
• D. Aspirin burn . CORRECT ANSWER: The condition illustrated in the image
is an injury to oral soft tissue that generally occurs when a patient with a toothache
places an acetylsalicylic acid tablet directly on the tissue adjacent to a painful
tooth. This results in a lesion where tissue become necrotic ad appears white and
painful. This image represents:
A. Thermal burn
B. Electric burn
C. Phenol burn
D. Aspirin burn
• D. Hematoma . CORRECT ANSWER: The condition depicted in the image is
the result of trauma and appears clinically as an accumulation of blood within
,tissue that is raised, fluid filled, and ranges in color from red, purple, or bluish-
gray. Most commonly found on labial or buccal mucosa, no treatment is necessary.
This image represents:
A. Frictional keratosis
B. Traumatic ulcer
C. Mucocele
d. Hematoma
• B. Frictional keratosis . CORRECT ANSWER: This condition shown in the
image is a reactive lesion that is the result of chronic rubbing or friction against an
oral mucosal surface that may result in hyperkeratosis. Clinically, it appears
opaque, white, almost callused. Could result of chronic chewing on the affected
tissue.
A. Traumatic granuloma
B. Frictional keratosis
C. Traumatic ulcer
D. Leukoplakia
• C. Nicotine stomatitis . CORRECT ANSWER: The condition shown is due to
the effect of heat on the palatal mucosa. Clinically, keratinized tissue exhibiting
pallor with raised eruthematous dots with openings of minor salivary ducts on the
palatal surface can be found.
A. Smokeless tobacco-associated keratosis
B. Amalgam tattoo
C. Nicotine stomatitis
, D. Traumatic neruoma
• A. Ranula . CORRECT ANSWER: This image illustrates a mucous retention
lesion that is a larger mucocele-like lesion that forms unilaterally on the floor of
the mouth. It inceases in size during meals. It is associated with the ducts of the
sublingual and submandibular glands. This type of lesion is treated by surgery; the
cause of the obstruction, often a salivary stone, must be removed.
A. Ranula
B. Mucocele
C. Sialothis
D. Mucous cyst
• A. Epulis fissuratum . CORRECT ANSWER: This lesion depicted in this image
demonstrates a condition that results from an ill-fitting denture and is generally
located in the vestibule along the denture flange. Surgical removal of the tissue
may be needed as well as either a denture reline or construction of a new denture.
A. Epulis fissuratum
B. Papillary hyperplasia
C. Peripheral giant cell granuloma
D. Docal fibrous hyperplasia
• C. Papillary hyperplasia . CORRECT ANSWER: The condition has a
"cobblestone" appearance due to erythematous papillary projections in a patient
who wears dentures
A. Epulis Fissuratum
