Chapter 01: Oral Cavity
Brand/Isselhard: Anatomy of Orofacial Structures, 8th Edition
R MULTIPLE CHOICE

U1. 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.
E 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.
ANS: A
S
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
S
ridge. This band of firm connective tissue causes the erupting incisors to be pushed aside
as
resulting in a diastema, or space. Correction of a diastema usually involves surgical removal,
I
or cutting, of the frenal tissue between teeth.

ANS: 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. D

Contraction of the mylohyoid muscle raises the tongue. The palatopharyngeal muscle and the
palatoglossal muscle form the posterolateral borders of the oral cavity. There is not a muscle
by the name of levator glossal.

ANS: B
The oral vestibule is the space or potential space that exists between the lips or cheeks and
as
teeth. In an edentulous person, the vestibule would extend between the lips or cheeks and the
I
alveolar ridges. The oral cavity proper is surrounded by teeth or alveolar ridges and extends
O
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.

6. The circumvallate papillae are located on the hard palate, buccal mucosa, and floor of the
mouth. The papillae found on the tongue are the filiform, fungiform, vallate, foliate, and
incisive.
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.
ANS: D
R All papillae listed in both statements are located on the tongue with the exception of the
incisive papilla, which is located on the hard palate. Note that the incisive papilla is a singular
structure, thus the different spelling. There are no papillae located on either the buccal mucosa
U or the floor of the mouth.

I
ANS: C
O
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
N
side of the posterior nasal spine indicating the junction of the hard and soft palate. Tonsillar
sv
pillars are folds of tissue that partially surround the tonsils. The sublingual fold extends
backward on either side of thN e floRor I

ANS: D
E
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.
The incisive papilla and rugae are located on the anterior portion of the hard palate. The
greater palatine foramina are located in the posterior portions of the hard palate lingual to the
second and third maxillary molars.
