Multiple Choice
1. A Diastema Is A Space Between Two Teeth In The Same Arch. When This Occurs
Between The Maxillary Central Incisors, It Is Often The Result Of A Pronounced
Labial Frenum.
a. Both Statements Are True.
b. The First Statement Is True; The Second Statement Is False.
c. The First Statement Is False; The Second Statement Is True.
d. Both Statements Are False.
Ans: A
A Space, Or Lack Of Contact Area, Between Any Two Teeth In The Same Arch Is Called A
Diastema. When A Diastema Occurs Between The Maxillary Central Incisors, It Is Often The
Result Of A Pronounced Labial Frenum Extending To The Crest Of The Alveolar Ridge And
Possibly Over The Ridge. This Band Of Firm Connective Tissue Causes The Erupting
Incisors To Be Pushed Aside Resulting In A Diastema, Or Space. Correction Of A Diastema
Usually Involves Surgical Removal, Or Cutting, Of The Frenal Tissue Between Teeth.

2. Torus Palatinus Is Seen On The
a. Soft Palate
b. Hard Palate
c. Alveolar Ridge
d. Oral Pharynx
Ans: B
Torus Palatinus Is Excess Bone Growth And Occurs In The Midline Of The Hard Palate. It
May Grow To Varying Sizes And Is Generally Only A Problem When The Construction 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.

3. Contraction Of Which Muscle Raises The Tongue Upward?
a. Mylohyoid
b. Palatopharyngeal
c. Palatoglossal
d. Levator Glossal
Ans: A
, Anatomy of Orofacial Structures 8th Edition Brand Test Bank
Contraction Of The Mylohyoid Muscle Raises The Tongue. The Palatopharyngeal Muscle
And The Palatoglossal Muscle Form The Posterolateral Borders Of The Oral Cavity. There Is
Not A Muscle By The Name Of Levator Glossal.

4. The Oral Vestibule Is Partially Bordered By The Lips And Cheeks. The Oral Cavity Proper
Extends Posteriorly To The Soft Palate.
a. Both Statements Are True.
b. The First Statement Is True; The Second Statement Is False.
c. The First Statement Is False; The Second Statement Is True.
d. Both Statements Are False.
Ans: B
The Oral Vestibule Is The Space Or Potential Space That Exists Between The Lips Or
Cheeks And Teeth. In An Edentulous Person, The Vestibule Would Extend Between The
Lips Or Cheeks And The Alveolar Ridges. The Oral Cavity Proper Is Surrounded By Teeth
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.

a. It Is Located At The Most Posterior Portion Of The Hard Palate.
b. It Is Located At The Midline.
c. It Is A Downwardly Projecting Muscle.
d. It Is Necessary For Swallowing.
Ans: D
The Uvula Is A Downwardly Projecting Muscular Tissue Located At The Midline Of The Most
Posterior Portion Of The Hard Palate. It Is Not Necessary For Swallowing.

6. The Circumvallate Papillae Are Located On The Hard Palate, Buccal Mucosa, And Floor
Of The Mouth. The Papillae Found On The Tongue Are The Filiform, Fungiform,
Vallate, Foliate, And Incisive.
a. Both Statements Are True.
b. The First Statement Is True; The Second Statement Is False.

d. Both Statements Are False.
Ans: D
All Papillae Listed In Both Statements Are Located On The Tongue With The Exception Of
The Incisive Papilla, Which Is Located On The Hard Palate. Note That The Incisive Papilla Is
A Singular Structure, Thus The Different Spelling. There Are No Papillae Located On Either
The Buccal Mucosa Or The Floor Of The Mouth.

7. Each Of The Following Structures Can Readily Be Viewed When Examining The Oral
Cavity Except One. Which One Is The Exception?
a. Fovea Palatinae
b. Tonsillar Pillars
c. Laryngeal Pharynx
d. Sublingual Fold
Ans: C
The Laryngeal Pharynx Is Located Below The Oral Pharynx And Cannot Be Seen While
Examining The Oral Cavity. The Fovea Palatinae, The Tonsillar Pillars, And The Sublingual
Fold Can Be Seen When Examining The Oral Cavity. Fovea Palatinae Are Small
Depressions In Mucosa On Either Side Of The Posterior Nasal Spine Indicating The Junction
Of The Hard And Soft Palate. Tonsillar Pillars Are Folds Of Tissue That Partially Surround
The Tonsils. The Sublingual Fold Extends
Backward On Either Side Of T hne Floror I

8. Each Of The Following Structures Is Located Within The Hard Palate Except One. Which
One Is The Exception?
a. Incisive Papilla
b. Rugae
c. Greater Palatine Foramina
d. The Anterior And Posterior Pillars
Ans: D
The Anterior And Posterior Pillars Are Located Posterior To The Soft Palate. The Posterior
Pillar Is Also Called The Palatopharyngeal Arch Or Fold. The Anterior Pillar Is Also Called
The Palatoglossal Arch Or Fold. The Tonsils Lie Between The Anterior And Posterior
Pillars.
The Incisive Papilla And Rugae Are Located On The Anterior Portion Of The Hard Palate.
The Greater Palatine Foramina Are Located In The Posterior Portions Of The Hard Palate
Lingual To The Second And Third Maxillary Molars.
