The compound odontoma is initially identified radiographically as a radiopaque area in

Fordyce granules are yellow clusters of ectopic sebaceous glands diagnosed through

ANS: B m


Benign migratory glossitis is another name for geographic tongue. Research suggests that
m m m m m m m m m m m


median rhomboid glossitis is associated with a chronic fungal infection from Candida
m m m m m m m m m m m m


albicans. Sometimes the condition resolves with antifungal therapy. Fissured tongue is

seen in5% of the population. It is a variant of normal. Genetic factors are typically

associated with the condition. Black hairy tongue is caused by a reaction to chemicals,

tobacco, hydrogen peroxide, or antacids. The filiform papillae on the dorsal tongue

c. Mixed tumor m


d. Ranula
ANS: B m


A torus palatinus is developmental and bony hard and is found on the midline of the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


palate. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical appearance. A palatal cyst appears
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


radiolucent on a radiographic examination and is not diagnosed through clinical
m m m m m m m m m m m


appearance. A mixed tumor orpleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of salivary gland

origin, found unilaterally off the midline of the hard palate. It is composed of tumor tissue
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


that is not bony hard to palpation.

a. linea alba. m

ANS: B m


Leukoedema is a diffuse opalescence most commonly seen on the buccal mucosa in black
m m m m m m m m m m m m m


individuals. Linea alba is a “white line” that extends anteroposteriorly on the buccal
m m m m m m m m m m m m


mmucosa along the occlusal plane. It is most prominent in patients who have a clenching
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


mor grinding habit. Leukoplakia is a clinical term for a white lesion, the cause of which is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m


munknown. Whitesponge nevus is a genetic (autosomal dominant) trait. Clinically, it is
m m m m m m m m m m m m


mcharacterized by a soft white, folded (or corrugated) oral mucosa. A thick layer of keratin
