MULTIPLE CHOICE nm

1. A diastema is a space between two teeth in the same arch. When this occurs
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

between the maxillary central incisors, it is often the result of a pronounced
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

labial frenum.

d. Both statements are false. nm nm nm

ANS: A nm

A space, or lack of contact area, between any two teeth in the same arch is called a
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

diastema. When a diastema occurs between the maxillary central incisors, it is often
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

the result of a pronounced labial frenum extending to the crest of the alveolar ridge
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

and possibly over the ridge. This band of firm connective tissue causes the erupting
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

incisors to be pushed aside resulting in a diastema, or space. Correction of a
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

diastema usually involves surgical removal, or cutting, of the frenal tissue between
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

teeth.

2. Torus palatinus is seen on the

ANS: B nm

Torus palatinus is excess bone growth and occurs in the midline of the hard palate.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

It may grow to varying sizes and is generally only a problem when the construction
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

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.

ANS: B nm

The oral vestibule is the space or potential space that exists between the lips or
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

cheeks and teeth. In an edentulous person, the vestibule would extend between the
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

lips or cheeks and the alveolar ridges. The oral cavity proper is surrounded by teeth
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm

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.

the incisive papilla, which is located on the hard palate. Note that the incisive
