MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A Diastema Is A Space Between Two Teeth In The Same Arch. When This Occurs Between The Maxillary
Central Incisors, It Is Often The Result Of A Pronounced Labial Frenum.
a. Both Statements Are True.
b. The First Statement Is True; The Second Statement Is False.
c. The First Statement Is False; The Second Statement Is True.
d. Both Statements Are False.
ANSWER: A
A Space, Or Lack Of Contact Area, Between Any Two Teeth In The Same Arch Is Called A Diastema. When A
Diastema Occurs Between The Maxillary Central Incisors, It Is Often The Result Of A Pronounced Labial Frenum
Extending To The Crest Of The Alveolar Ridge And Possibly Over The Ridge. This Band Of Firm Connective
Tissue Causes The Erupting Incisors To Be Pushed Aside Resulting In A Diastema, Or Space. Correction Of A
Diastema Usually Involves Surgical Removal, Or Cutting, Of The Frenal Tissue Between Teeth.

2. Torus Palatinus Is Seen On The
a. Soft Palate
b. Hard Palate
c. Alveolar Ridge
d. Oral Pharynx
ANSWER: B
Torus Palatinus Is Excess Bone Growth And Occurs In The Midline Of The Hard Palate. It May Grow To Varying
Sizes And Is Generally Only A Problem When The Construction Of A Maxillary Denture Is Necessary. In Health,
Such Bony Protuberances, Or Excess Bone Growths, Do Not Occur On The Soft Palate, Alveolar Ridge, Or Oral
Pharynx.

4. The Oral Vestibule Is Partially Bordered By The Lips And Cheeks. The Oral Cavity Proper Extends Posteriorly
To The Soft Palate.
a. Both Statements Are True.
b. The First Statement Is True; The Second Statement Is False.
c. The First Statement Is False; The Second Statement Is True.
d. Both Statements Are False.
ANSWER: B
The Oral Vestibule Is The Space Or Potential Space That Exists Between The Lips Or Cheeks And Teeth. In An
Edentulous Person, The Vestibule Would Extend Between The Lips Or Cheeks And The Alveolar Ridges. The
Oral Cavity Proper Is Surrounded By Teeth Or Alveolar Ridges And Extends All The Way Back To The Palatine
Tonsils. This Includes The Region From The Floor Of The Mouth Upward To The Hard And Soft Palates.

a. It Is Located At The Most Posterior Portion Of The Hard Palate.
b. It Is Located At The Midline.
c. It Is A Downwardly Projecting Muscle.
d. It Is Necessary For Swallowing.
ANSWER: D
The Uvula Is A Downwardly Projecting Muscular Tissue Located At The Midline Of The Most Posterior Portion Of
The Hard Palate. It Is NOT Necessary For Swallowing.

One. Which One Is The EXCEPTION?
a. Fovea Palatinae
b. Tonsillar Pillars
c. Laryngeal Pharynx
d. Sublingual Fold
ANSWER: C
The Laryngeal Pharynx Is Located Below The Oral Pharynx And Cannot Be Seen While Examining The Oral
Cavity. The Fovea Palatinae, The Tonsillar Pillars, And The Sublingual Fold Can Be Seen When Examining The
Oral Cavity. Fovea Palatinae Are Small Depressions In Mucosa On Either Side Of The Posterior Nasal Spine
Indicating The Junction Of The Hard And Soft Palate. Tonsillar Pillars Are Folds Of Tissue That Partially
Surround The Tonsils. The Sublingual Fold Extends
Backward On Either Side Of T hne F loror Iof T hge Mbo.Utch Anmd Is Situated Just Superior To The Submandibular Gland.

ANSWER: D
The Anterior And Posterior Pillars Are Located Posterior To The Soft Palate. The Posterior Pillar Is Also Called
The Palatopharyngeal Arch Or Fold. The Anterior Pillar Is Also Called The Palatoglossal Arch Or Fold. The
Tonsils Lie Between The Anterior And Posterior Pillars.
