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.

of normal that requires no treatment and is termed a. linea alba. b. leukoedema. c. leukoplakia. d. white sponge nevus.

ANS: B

Leukoedema is a diffuse opalescence most commonly seen on the buccal mucosa in black individuals. Linea alba is a “white line” that extends anteroposteriorly on the buccal mucosa along the occlusal plane. It is most prominent in patients who have a clenching or grinding habit. Leukoplakia is a clinical term for a white lesion, the cause of which is unknown. White sponge nevus is a genetic (autosomal dominant) trait. Clinically, it is characterized by a soft white, folded (or corrugated) oral mucosa. A thick layer of keratin produces the whitening.

Herpetiform aphthous ulcers resemble those associated with the herpes simplex virus, but there are no systemic signs or symptoms as in primary herpes simplex infection. Behçet syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by numerous clinical manifestations. Although there are oral ulcerations, the diagnosis requires the presence of other features such as genital, ocular, and skin lesions.

Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist 7th Edition by Ibsen Test Bank

Urticaria, also called hives, appears as well-demarcated areas of swelling on the skin accompanied by pruritus. The release of the chemical mediator histamine causes the increased vascular permeability. Antihistaminic drugs are used to treat urticaria. Minor aphthous ulcers heal spontaneously in 7 to 10 days. They may be treated with topical corticosteroid or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications. Herpetiform aphthous ulcers do not respond to antihistaminic drugs. They may respond to corticosteroid therapy or topical liquid tetracycline. Contact mucositis results from direct contact of an allergen with the mucosa.

Treatment begins with removal of the cause.

ANS: C

Chromosomes can only be seen clearly under a microscope when the nucleus and cell are dividing. At other times the genetic material is dispersed in the nucleus. Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of the cell. They contain the hereditary units called genes that are transmitted from one generation to another. Each cell of the human body, with the exception of mature germ cells, has 46 chromosomes. Half of these chromosomes are derived from the father and the other half from the mother. Chromosomes contain DNA, which directs the production of amino acids, polypeptides, and proteins by the cell.

Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist 7th Edition by Ibsen Test Bank

The correct order for the stages of mitosis is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.

During prophase the chromosomes are lining up toward metaphase; in metaphase, the chromosomes stain intensely and are arranged almost symmetrically at both sides of the center of the cell; in anaphase and telophase the chromatids are in the process of splitting. Metaphase occurs before anaphase during mitosis. Anaphase occurs before telophase during mitosis.

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis, and anaphase occurs before telophase.

Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist 7th Edition by Ibsen Test Bank b. Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome c. Mandibulofacial dysostosis d. Gardner syndrome ANS: D

Gardner syndrome is characterized by intestinal polyps, which become malignant at age 30 and after. It is also known as familial colorectal polyposis. Polyposis primarily affects the colon and rectum and generally develops before puberty. Some authors recommend intestinal resection when the polyps appear because their malignant transformation into adenocarcinoma is invariable, especially with increasing age. Osteogenesis imperfecta is characterized by defective collagen and results in abnormally formed bones that fracture easily. Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is characterized by mild hypertelorism and mild prognathism, with frontal and parietal enlargement and a broad nasal root. Mandibulofacial dysostosis is characterized by a mouth that appears fishlike, with downward sloping of the lip commissures. The facies shows downward sloping of the palpebral fissures, a hypoplastic nose, hypoplastic malar bones with hypoplasia or absence of the zygomatic process, abnormal and misplaced ears, and a receding chin.

ANS: C

Oral manifestations of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome consist of multiple cysts of the jaws that are odontogenic keratocysts. These cysts vary in size; they can be very large and have a marked tendency to recur after surgical removal. On occasion, an ameloblastoma arises in them as part of this syndrome. They develop as early as 5 to 6 years of age in some affected patients and interfere with normal development of the jawbones and teeth. Oral manifestations of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome consist of multiple cysts of the jaws that are odontogenic keratocysts and not central giant cell granulomas.

For autosomal-dominant inheritance, expressivity pertains to the degree to which an individual is affected. Penetrance refers to the number of individuals affected. The term heterogeneity is used when a condition has more than one inheritance pattern and differences exist in the degree of clinical manifestation for each of the inherited varieties. Consanguinity means a family relationship and is generally used to describe matings or marriages among close relatives, usually including first cousins.

is an inherited disorder affecting the gingiva and periodontium, which is characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. a. Cyclic neutropenia b. Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome c. Gingival fibromatosis d. Laband syndrome ANS: B

Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome is an inherited disorder affecting the gingiva and periodontium, which is characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

Cyclic neutropenia is characterized by a cyclic decrease in the number of circulating neutrophilic leukocytes. Gingival fibromatosis is a component of several inherited syndromes.

The gingival hypertrophy generally develops early in life, and within a few years the teeth are completely covered. Laband syndrome is characterized by gingival fibromatosis, dysplastic or absent nails, and malformed nose and ears because of soft and pliable cartilage formation, hepatosplenomegaly, and hypoplasia of terminal phalanges of the fingers and toes with a resultant froglike appearance.

ANS: B

A patient with Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome will show a marked gingivoperiodontal inflammatory condition in the primary teeth at about 1.5 to 2 years of age. It is marked by edema, bleeding, alveolar bone resorption, and mobility of teeth with consequent exfoliation.

At about 8 or 9 years of age, the gingivoperiodontal destruction of the permanent dentition is repeated in the same manner as occurred in the primary dentition. All primary teeth are lost before 14 years of age. A patient with Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome will show a marked gingivoperiodontal inflammatory condition in the primary teeth at about 1.5 to 2 years of age rather than 0 to 0.5 years of age. A patient with Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome will show a marked gingivoperiodontal inflammatory condition in the primary teeth at about 1.5 to 2 years of age rather than 4 to 6 years of age.

70. A patient with

will have a mouth that appears fishlike, with downward sloping of the lip commissures. a. osteogenesis imperfecta b. mandibulofacial dysostosis c. cherubism d. cleidocranial dysplasia ANS: B

A patient with mandibulofacial dysostosis will have a mouth that appears fishlike, with downward sloping of the lip commissures. The facies shows downward sloping of the palpebral fissures, a hypoplastic nose, hypoplastic malar bones with hypoplasia or absence of the zygomatic process, abnormal and misplaced ears, and a receding chin. The lower eyelids show a cleft of the outer third, with a lack of lashes medial to it. The ears may exhibit tags, which on occasion can also be seen near the angle of the mouth. Osteogenesis imperfecta is characterized by a dentinogenesis imperfecta-like condition. Primary teeth are affected in 80% of patients, whereas permanent teeth are affected in only 35% of these individuals. The crowns, roots, and pulp chambers are generally smaller than normal. Cherubism is characterized by radiographs of the jaws that show a typical “soap-bubble” or multilocular appearance, which usually occupies the ascending ramus of the mandible and extends into the molar and premolar areas. Cleidocranial dysplasia is characterized by a premaxilla that is generally underdeveloped, resulting in pseudoprognathism. These patients have many supernumerary teeth, sometimes even simulating a third dentition.

Chapter 07: Neoplasia Ibsen: Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist, 7th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Which choice represents a characteristic of malignant tumors? a. Encapsulated b. Ability to spread to distant sites c. Benign d. Cells resemble normal cells ANS: B

Malignant tumors have the ability to spread to distant sites. Cancer is synonymous with malignancy. Encapsulated is a characteristic of benign rather than malignant tumors. It means the tumor is walled off by surrounding fibrous connective tissue. Sometimes a benign tumor can invade adjacent structures, but it does not have the ability to spread to distant sites. The cells of benign tumors almost always resemble normal cells, whereas malignant tumors vary in their histologic appearance.

ANS: D

Anaplastic means the tumor does not resemble the tissue from which it was derived.

Pleomorphic means the tumor is composed of cells that vary in size and shape. The nuclei of malignant tumor cells are often hyperchromatic; that is, they are darker than those of normal cells. The nuclei of malignant tumor cells exhibit an increased nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, but anaplastic means the tumor does not resemble the tissue from which it was derived.

dysplasia.

Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist 7th Edition by Ibsen Test Bank

Surgical treatment would most likely be recommended for a patient with fibrous dysplasia.

Fibrous dysplasia is treated surgically by recontouring the affected bone for cosmetic reasons.

No treatment exists for severe and progressive polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. No treatment is necessary for periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia once the condition is recognized. Once a definitive diagnosis has been established for focal cemento-osseous dysplasia, no further treatment is necessary. Treatment for florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is often unnecessary.

However, in an edentulous patient, the sclerotic masses may perforate the mucosa, resulting in a communication between the oral environment and the underlying bone. This may lead to osteomyelitis, requiring surgical intervention.

hormone from the pituitary gland. a. follicle-stimulating b. luteinizing c. adrenocorticotropic d. growth ANS: C

The production of adrenal steroids is normally stimulated by release of adrenocorticotropic hormone from the pituitary gland. As a result of decreased production of adrenal steroids caused by Addison disease, the pituitary gland increases its production of adrenocorticotropic hormone. This hormone is similar to melanin-stimulating hormone and causes stimulation of melanocytes. Brown pigmentation (bronzing) of the skin occurs, and melanotic macules can appear on the oral mucosa. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone stimulate the release of estrogen and progesterone in females and testosterone in males. Growth hormone is also released by the pituitary gland.

ANS: B

The TMJ is the articulation between the condyle of the mandible and the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone. It is a highly specialized joint that differs from other joints because of the fibrocartilage that covers the bony articulating surfaces, its ginglymoarthrodial movement, its function and overall health being dictated by jaw movement, and its dependence on the contralateral joint. The TMJ is the articulation between the condyle of the mandible and the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone rather than the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.

ANS: B

Clicking and popping commonly reflect disc displacement with reduction. It occurs in approximately 33% of asymptomatic patients. It is of little clinical consequence in the absence of pain or other symptoms relating to the TMJ because it is controversial as to whether these noises represent an adaptive response or an early symptom of progression to disc displacement without reduction. Clicking and popping, not parafunctional habits, commonly reflect disc displacement with reduction. Clicking and popping, not malocclusion, commonly reflect disc displacement with reduction. Clicking and popping, not trismus, commonly reflect disc displacement with reduction.
