Oral pathology final exam complete with multiple choices

Document Content and Description Below

Oral pathology final exam The primary and most common cause of a mucocele is: A) inflammation B) tumor formation C) severing of or trauma to a minor salivary duct D) obstruction of a salivary g... land duct A ranula is located on the: A) lower lip B) buccal mucosa C) retro molar pad D) floor of the mouth Which one of the following would not occur on the gingiva? A) irritation fibroma B) pyogenic granuloma C) giant cell granuloma D) epulis fissuration A panorex reveals multiple supernumerary teeth. This patient also has open cranial frontanelles and aplasia (incomplete, retarded or defective development of an Oran or tissue) of the clavicles. What autosomal dominant condition does this patient have? A) hypercementosis B) chondroectodermal dysplasia C) osteogenesis imperfecta D) cleidocranial dysplasia E) mandibulofacial dysostosis The wearing away of the tooth structure through an abnormal mechanical action defines: A) attrition B) abrasion C) erosion D) gemination Generalized loss of tooth structure primarily on the lingual surfaces of teeth is associated with: A) erosion B) attrition C) abrasion D) bruxism During examination of the dentition, the DH notes the presence of active wear facets. This indicates that the patient is: A) a bruxer B) bulimic C) a vegetarian D) lip biting This mandibular first molar displays a developmental anomaly. Upon clinical observation, one notes an extra cusp in the center of the occlusal surface in the central pit in this tooth. What is it called? A) talon cusped tooth B) concresence C) dens invaginatus (dens in dente) D) dens evaginatus E) taurdontism Referred to as "localized microdontia" which teeth most often appear smaller than normal? A) mandibular premolars and maxillary third molars B) maxillary premolars and mandibular third molars C) mandibular lateral incisors and mandibular third molars D) maxillary lateral incisors and maxillary third molars Which of the following is considered to be the most likely cause of necrotizing sialometaplasia? A) blocked salivary gland ducts B) radiation therapy C) loss of blood supply D) a sialolith Which term refers to a developmental anomaly in which teeth exhibit elongated, large pulp chambers and short roots? A) dens in dente B) dens evaginatus C) taurdontism D) dilaceration Epulis fissuratum results from irritation caused by: [Show More]
