is caused by significant intercellular edema in which
layer of the stratified squamous epithelium?
A. Corneum
B. Basal
C. Spinosum
D. Granular

A. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs
B. Excision
C. Antifungal drugs
D. Monitoring for potential malignancy
E. No treatment

A. 5 mm
B. 2 mm
C. 3 mm
D. 1 mm
E. 0 mm
5. The patient s sensitivity in this area is most likely relat- C
ed to:
A. Fluid entering the sulcular epithelium
B. Fluid entering the rodless enamel
C. Fluid entering the dentinal tubules
D. Fluid entering the lacuna of the cementum
6. The tooth itself is capable of experiencing nerve sen- D
sation from what stimuli?
A. Pressure
B. Hot
C. Cold
D. Pain
E. Both B and C
7. The patient wants the areas of gingival recession A
treated to resolve sensitivity and esthetics problems.
The dental care plan includes covering the areas
around the canines with soft tissue grafts. The pe-
riodontist explains that he will perform connective
tissue grafts. He explains that the connective tissue
taken from the area (donor site) will produce the same
type of epithelium at the canine area (recipient site)

as the tissue that exists at the donor site. The type of
tissue normally present around the canine area is:
a. Keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium
b. Nonkeratinized, stratified squamous epithelium
c. Nonkeratinized, simple squamous epithelium
d. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
8. The patient wants the areas of gingival recession C
treated to resolve sensitivity and esthetics problems.

taken from the area (donor site) will produce the same
type of epithelium at the canine area (recipient site) as
the tissue that exists at the donor site. An appropriate
connective tissue donor site would be the:
A. Buccal mucosa
B. Soft palate
C. Hard palate
D. Sublingual area
C. Labial mucosa

taken from the area (donor site) will produce the same
type of epithelium at the canine area (recipient site)
as the tissue that exists at the donor site. With this
procedure, the ideal outcome would be for some of
this tissue to form a fibrous attachment to the tooth
cementum. From which type of tissue would the cells
come to remodel the cementum in this area in which
root surfaces previously were exposed?
A. Cellular cementum
B. Bone
C. Sulcular epithelium
D. Periodontal ligament
10. This patient also has a mucocele that is the result of B
the severing of a minor salivary duct. A mucocele is
usually found in which of the following areas?
A. Gingiva
B. Lower lip mucosa
C. Hard palate
D. Dorsum of the tongue
E. Buccal mucosa
11. To prevent further recession, what changes should E
this patient make in his oral self-care regimen?
A. More frequent continued-care appointments
B. More frequent flossing
C. Modified flossing technique
