1. Which of the following oral landmarks may be noted on the soft palate?
a. Incisive papilla
b. Palatine rugae
c. Median palatine raphe
d. Uvula
ANS: D
A midline muscular structure, the uvula of the palate, hangs down from the posterior margin
of the soft palate. The incisive papilla is a small bulge of tissue at the most anterior part of the
hard palate. The median palatine raphe is a midline ridge of tissue on the hard palate. The
palatine rugae are firm, irregular ridges of tissue on the hard palate.

2. Which of the following oral landmarks separates the base from the body of the tongue?
a. Sublingual fold
b. Lingual tonsil
c. Plica fimbriatae
d. Sulcus terminalis
ANS: D
Posteriorly on the dorsal surface of the tongue is an inverted V-shaped groove, the sulcus
terminalis; it separates the base from the body of the tongue, demarcating a line of fusion of
tissue during the tongue’s development. A ridge of tissue on each side of the floor of the
mouth, the sublingual fold, joins in a V-shaped configuration extending from the lingual
frenum to the base of the tongue; it contains openings of the sublingual duct from the
sublingual salivary gland. Even farther posteriorly on the dorsal surface of the base of the
tongue is an irregular mass of tissue, the lingual tonsil. Lateral to each deep lingual vein on
the ventral surface of the tongue is the plica fimbriata (plural, plicae fimbriatae) with
fringelike projections.

On the surface of the labial and buccal mucosa is a common variation, Fordyce spots. These
are visible as small, yellowish elevations on the oral mucosa. They represent deeper deposits
of sebum from trapped or misplaced sebaceous gland tissue, usually associated with hair
follicles.

4. The line of demarcation between the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa is the
a. mucogingival junction.
b. interdental gingiva.
c. mucobuccal fold.
d. marginal gingiva.
ANS: A
The line of demarcation between the firmer and pinker attached gingiva and the movable and
redder alveolar mucosa is the scallop-shaped mucogingival junction. The interdental gingiva
is the gingival tissue between adjacent teeth adjoining attached gingiva. Deep within each
vestibule is the vestibular fornix, where the pink labial mucosa or buccal mucosa meets the
redder alveolar mucosa at the mucobuccal fold. At the gingival margin of each tooth is the
marginal gingiva, which forms a cuff above the neck of the tooth.

5. The root of the mature and fully erupted tooth is composed of
a. enamel, dentin, and pulp.
b. dentin and pulp.
c. dentin, pulp, and cementum.
d. pulp, cementum, and periodontal ligament.
ANS: C
The crown of the tooth is composed of the extremely hard outer enamel layer and the
moderately hard inner dentinal layer overlying the pulp of the tooth. The pulp is the soft
innermost layer in the tooth. The moderately hard dentin continues to cover the soft tissue of
the pulp of the tooth in the root(s), but the outermost layer of the root(s) is composed of
cementum. The bonelike cementum is the part of the tooth that attaches to the periodontal
ligament, which then attaches to the alveolus of bone, holding the tooth in its socket.
