Oral Pathology MCQs

Oral pathology questions on the INBDE test pattern recognition: leukoplakia vs lichen planus vs candidiasis, odontogenic cysts and tumors, salivary gland pathology, and the systemic diseases that present with oral findings. The practice bank below builds the diagnostic framework you'll use chairside; chaptered modules are in development.

How to use this section

Two passes through oral pathology.

Step 1
Drill the practice bank
Work through the board-style questions below to build pattern recognition across mucosal lesions, odontogenic cysts and tumors, and salivary gland disease.
Step 2
Build the differential
Focus on the questions that pit look-alike lesions against each other: this is how pathology gets tested on the boards and at chairside.

Why
Dentigerous cysts form around the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth, most commonly the mandibular third molar.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign salivary gland tumor and occurs most frequently in the parotid gland. It presents as a slow-growing, painless, mobile mass. It can also arise in the submandibular gland or minor salivary glands (especially of the palate). Malignant transformation is uncommon but possible if left untreated.
