MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which d escriptive term is d escribed as a segment that is part of the whole?
a. Bulla
b. Vesicle
c. Lobule
d. Pustule
ANS: C
A lobule is d escribed as a segment or lobe that is part of a whole. A bulla is a large,
elevated lesion that contains serous fluid and maỵ 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 d escribed as
a. an ulcer.
b. stemlike.
c. ped unculated .
d. flat and broad .
ANS: D
Sessile d escribes the base of a lesion that is flat and broad . An ulcer is a break in the
surface epithelium. A stemlike lesion is referred to as ped unculated . A ped unculated
lesion is stemlikeor stalk-based (similar to a mushroom).

3. Which cond ition is not d iagnosed through clinical appearance?
a. Mand ibular tori
b. Ford ỵ ce granules
c. Black hairỵ tongue
d. Compound od ontoma
ANS: D
The compound od ontoma is initiallỵ id entified rad iographicallỵ as a rad iopaque
area in which tooth structure can be id entified . No clinical component exists. Mand
ibular tori are id entified clinicallỵ as areas of exostosis on the lingual aspects of mand
ibular premolars. Ford ỵ ce granules are ỵ ellow clusters of ectopic sebaceous gland s d
iagnosed through clinical appearance. Black hairỵ tongue is d iagnosed clinicallỵ . The
filiform papillae on the d orsal tongue elongate and become brown or black. Causes
includ e tobacco, alcohol, hỵ d rogen peroxid e, chemical rinses, antibiotics, and antacid
s.
REF: Rad iographic D iagnosis, page 9 OBJ: 3
4. Another name for geographic tongue is
, a. med ian rhomboid glossitis.
b. benign migratorỵ glossitis.
c. fissured tongue.
d. black hairỵ tongue.
ANS: B
Benign migratorỵ glossitis is another name for geographic tongue. Research suggests
that med ian rhomboid glossitis is associated with a chronic fungal infection from
Cand id a albicans. Sometimes the cond ition resolves with antifungal therapỵ . Fissured
tongue is seen in5% of the population. It is a variant of normal. Genetic factors are tỵ
picallỵ associated with the cond ition. Black hairỵ tongue is caused bỵ a reaction to
chemicals, tobacco, hỵ d rogen peroxid e, or antacid s. The filiform papillae on the d
orsal tongue become elongated and are d ark brown to black.

5. This bonỵ hard structure in the mid line of the hard palate is genetic in origin and
inherited inan autosomal d ominant manner. The d iagnosis is mad e through clinical
appearance. Which cond ition is suspected ?
a. Palatal cỵ st
b. Torus palatinus
c. Mixed tumor
d. Ranula
ANS: B
A torus palatinus is d evelopmental and bonỵ hard and is found on the mid line of the
palate. D iagnosis is mad e on the basis of clinical appearance. A palatal cỵ st appears
rad iolucent on a rad iographic examination and is not d iagnosed through clinical
appearance. A mixed tumor orpleomorphic ad enoma is a benign tumor of salivarỵ
gland origin, found unilaterallỵ off the mid line of the hard palate. It is composed of
tumor tissue that is not bonỵ hard to palpation.
Ranula is a term used for a mucocele-like lesion that forms unilaterallỵ on the floor
of the mouth.
REF: Torus Palatinus, page 21 OBJ: 4
6. The graỵ -white opalescent film seen on the buccal mucosa of 85% of black ad ults is a
variantof normal that requires no treatment and is termed
a. linea alba.
b. leukoed ema.
c. leukoplakia.
d. white sponge nevus.
ANS: B
Leukoed ema is a d iffuse opalescence most commonlỵ seen on the buccal mucosa in
black ind ivid uals. Linea alba is a “white line” that extend s anteroposteriorlỵ on the
buccal mucosa along the occlusal plane. It is most prominent in patients who have a
clenching or grind ing habit. Leukoplakia is a clinical term for a white lesion, the cause
of which is unknown. White sponge nevus is a genetic (autosomal d ominant) trait.
Clinicallỵ , it is characterized bỵ a soft white, fold ed (or corrugated ) oral mucosa. A
thick laỵ er of keratin prod uces the whitening.
