Stomatognathic system

The stomatognathic system is composed of several parts that act as a single unit for the processes of

• Mastication, deglutition, phonation, respiration, and other behavioral activities

• Digestion, absorption, secretion, and excretion

• Sensation, perception, cognition, and emotion

• Growth, development, adaptation, and aging

The site of the mandible’s articulation with the skull is called the

• Articular disc

• Mandibular fossa

• Condylar process

• Articular eminence

Which of the following muscle is not a part of buccinator mechanism

• Orbicularis oris

• Superior constrictor

• Inferior constrictor

• Pterygomandibular raphe

Benninghoff's lines are referred as 

• Trajectories of Strain

• Trajectories of force

• Trajectories of Stress

• Trajectories of power

Which one of the following is not a part of the vertical pillar of maxilla

• Zygomatic pillar

• Pterygoid pillar

• Sphenoid pillar

• Occipital pillar

Which of the following structures is primarily responsible for the stability of the TMJ?

• Articular disc

• Mandibular fossa

• Temporalis muscle

• Masseter muscle

The development of normal transverse arch width is most influenced by

• Tongue thrust swallowing pattern

• Bilateral mastication

• Normal speech

• Regular nasal breathing

During normal mastication, the working side condyle primarily exhibits

• Pure rotation

• Extensive lateral movement

• Minimal movement

• Pure translation

The principle of bone transformation according to Wolff's law is most applicable in

• Deciduous dentition

• Mixed dentition

• Permanent dentition

• All stages of dentition

Trajectory theory of bone structure was initially given by

• Benninghoff

• Wolf

• Meyer

• Julius
