Chapter 01: Introduction to Preliminary Diagnosis of Oral Lesions
Ibsen: Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist, 7th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which descriptive term is described as a segment that is part of the whole?
a. Bulla
b. Vesicle
c. Lobule
d. Pustule
ANS: C
A lobule is described as a segment or lobe that is part of a whole. A bulla is a
large, elevated lesion that contains serous fluid and may look like a blister. A
vesicle is a small, elevated lesion that contains serous fluid. Pustules are
circumscribed elevations containing pus.
REF: Vocabulary, Clinical of Soft Tissue Lesions, page 1 OBJ: 1


2. A lesion with a sessile base is described as
a. an ulcer.
b. stemlike.
c. pedunculated.
d. flat and broad.
ANS: D
Sessile describes the base of a lesion that is flat and broad. An ulcer is a break
in the surface epithelium. A stemlike lesion is referred to as pedunculated. A
pedunculated lesion is stemlike or stalk-based (similar to a mushroom).
REF: Vocabulary, Clinical Appearance of Soft Tissue Lesions, page 1 OBJ: 1


3. Which condition is not diagnosed through clinical appearance?
a. Mandibular tori
b. Fordyce granules
c. Black hairy tongue
d. Compound odontoma
ANS: D
The compound odontoma is initially identified radiographically as a radiopaque
area in which tooth structure can be identified. No clinical component exists.
Mandibular tori are identified clinically as areas of exostosis on the lingual
aspects of mandibular premolars. Fordyce granules are yellow clusters of ectopic
sebaceous glands diagnosed through clinical appearance. Black hairy tongue is
diagnosed clinically. The filiform papillae on the dorsal tongue elongate and
become brown or black. Causes include tobacco, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide,
chemical rinses, antibiotics, and antacids.

REF: Radiographic Diagnosis, page 9 OBJ: 3


4. Another name for geographic tongue is
a. median rhomboid glossitis.
b. benign migratory glossitis.
c. fissured tongue.
d. black hairy tongue.
ANS: B
Benign migratory glossitis is another name for geographic tongue. Research
suggests that median rhomboid glossitis is associated with a chronic fungal
infection from Candida albicans. Sometimes the condition resolves with antifungal
therapy. Fissured tongue is seen in 5% 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 become elongated and are dark
brown to black.
REF: Geographic Tongue, page 24 OBJ: 7


5. This bony hard structure in the midline of the hard palate is genetic in
origin and inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The diagnosis is made
through clinical appearance. Which condition is suspected?
a. Palatal cyst
b. Torus palatinus
c. Mixed tumor
d. Ranula
ANS: B
A torus palatinus is developmental and bony hard and is found on the midline of
the palate. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical appearance. A palatal cyst
appears radiolucent on a radiographic examination and is not diagnosed through
clinical appearance. A mixed tumor or pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of
salivary gland origin, found unilaterally off the midline of the hard palate. It
is composed of tumor tissue that is not bony hard to palpation.
Ranula is a term used for a mucocele-like lesion that forms unilaterally on the
floor of the mouth.
REF: Torus Palatinus, page 21 OBJ: 4


6. The gray-white opalescent film seen on the buccal mucosa of 85% of black
adults is a variant of normal that requires no treatment and is termed
a. linea alba.
b. leukoedema.
c. leukoplakia.
d. white sponge nevus.
