DANB AMP EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
agenesis Correct Answers occur when the tooth buds do not
form
ala of the nose Correct Answers The wing of the nose or outer
edge of the nostril
alveolar crest Correct Answers where two cortical bone plates
come together between each tooth
alveolar mucosa Correct Answers thin, loosely attached
mucosa covering the alveolar bone; alveolar process forms the
bone that supports the maxillary and mandibular teeth.
alveolar mucosa Correct Answers thin, loosely attached
mucosa covering the alveolar bone; alveolar process forms the
bone that supports the maxillary and mandibular teeth.
alveolar process Correct Answers the bone that supports the
teeth in both arches
alveolodental ligament fiber groups Correct Answers six
groups of fibers in the alveolodental tissues; alveolar crest,
horizontal, oblique, apical, interradicular, and interdental fiber
groups
alveolus Correct Answers the bone that surrounds the root of
the tooth, the socket
,anatomical crown Correct Answers portion of the tooth
covered with enamel
anatomical root Correct Answers the portion of the tooth
covered with cementum
anterior tonsillar pillars Correct Answers folds of tissue that
extend horizontally from the uvula to the base of the tongue
apex Correct Answers at or near the end of the root
apical foramen Correct Answers opening in the end of the tooth
through which nerve and blood vessels enter
apical third Correct Answers the root of the tooth is divided
into imaginary thirds with the area nearest the apex as the apical
third
apposition Correct Answers in the life cycle of a tooth when
the calcium salts and other minerals are deposited and when the
tissues or enamel, dentin and cementum are formed in layers
articular disc Correct Answers AKA: meniscus. A dense,
fibrous connective tissue that is thicker at the ends attached to
the condyle
attached gingiva Correct Answers extends from the
mucogingival junction to the gingival groove; it is stippled and
attached tightly to the alveolar bone
, attrition Correct Answers the wearing away of the incisal or
occlusal surface of the tooth during normal function; the final
stage of the life cycle of the tooth
bell stage Correct Answers the stage where cell specialization
or histodifferentiation takes place
bicanineate Correct Answers a larger single buccal cusp and a
lingual cusp
bicuspids Correct Answers AKA premolars, located before
molars to pulverize and grind food, none in primary teeth
bifurcated Correct Answers one tooth with two roots
Bones of the cranium Correct Answers frontal, parietal,
temporal, occipital, ethmoid and sphenoid
Bones of the face Correct Answers nasal, vomer, inferior
conchae, lacrimal, maxillae, zygomatic, palatine, and mandible
buccal Correct Answers the surface of the posterior tooth that
is toward the cheeks
buccal nerve branch Correct Answers Passes through the
buccinator muscle to the cheek, where it innervates the buccal
mucosa and buccal gingiva, as well as the buccal of the
mandibular molars
