  • All of the above (correct)

What is the name of the space between the lips and the teeth?

  • Labial Vestibule
  • Lingual Sulcus
  • Both A and B (correct)
  • Buccal Vestibule

Match the following anatomical landmarks with their descriptions:

Retromolar Pad Area = A small, raised area of tissue located behind the last molar tooth. Buccal Shelf Area = A flat area of tissue located on the inner cheek side of the mouth. Lingual Frenum = A fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Labial Frenum = A fold of tissue that connects the lip to the gum. Residual Alveolar Ridge = The remaining bony structure after a tooth has been extracted. RetroMylohyoid Fossa = A depression in the bone behind the mylohyoid muscle. Lingual Sulcus = A groove in the tongue that runs along the midline.

The buccal frenum is located on the tongue.
