This document is a comprehensive assessment resource designed to accompany the 9th edition of the textbook. It serves as a pedagogical tool for instructors and students in dental assisting, dental hygiene, and dentistry programs. The material bridges the gap between basic anatomical science and clinical dental practice. The content is organized into four major modules: Dental Anatomy & Morphology: Detailed examination of tooth development, eruption patterns, and the specific morphological characteristics of the permanent and deciduous dentitions (incisors through molars). Oral Histology & Embryology: A deep dive into the microscopic structure of tissues, covering the development of the orofacial complex, the dental lamina, and the formation of enamel, dentin, and pulp. Head and Neck Anatomy: A clinical focus on the osteology of the skull, the muscular systems (mastication and facial expression), the nervous system (with emphasis on the trigeminal nerve), and the vascular supply to the oral cavity. Clinical Applications: Specific chapters dedicated to the anatomical considerations of local anesthesia, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and the spread of dental infections.

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.

REF: p. 3
OBJ: To describe the boundaries and sub-boundaries of the oral cavity and the structures in each area

NAT: CDA: GC I.A.6. Identify basic oral anatomy and physiology, including but not limited to: oral
cavity. TOP: BLOOM: Remembering


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.
