๐Ÿฆทโœจ QUICK REVIEW โ€” USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ + CANADA ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Okay guysโ€ฆ WHAT is happening in this image?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ

Letโ€™s review this because you could absolutely see this concept on your boards ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿฆท Hutchinson incisors
โ†’ INCISORS
โ†’ Screwdriver/barrel-shaped
โ†’ Characteristic notch on the incisal edge

๐Ÿ“ Mulberry molars
โ†’ MOLARS
โ†’ Abnormal, hypoplastic cusps
โ†’ โ€œMulberry-likeโ€ appearance

๐Ÿฆ  Both are associated with CONGENITAL SYPHILIS.

But this image basically put a MULBERRY MOLAR where the INCISORS belong. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Guysโ€ฆ thatโ€™s like putting your FEET ๐Ÿฆถ where your HANDS โœ‹ should be.

It makes NO SENSE. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And this is exactly why you need to KNOW your material.

โš ๏ธ Donโ€™t be tempted to blindly trust AI-generated dental content just because it looks professional.

Use your brain. Think. Question what you see. ๐Ÿง 

And when you study with us, know that we would NEVER let mistakes like this make it into your study materials. Our questions and images are reviewed and validated by real humans who understand the material. ๐Ÿฆทโค๏ธ

Now letโ€™s PASS those boards! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Comment "NBDHE" and I'll send you the free webinar invite.

The NBDHE is changing in October 2026.

If you're testing anytime between October 2026 and June 2027, this one's for you.

Here's what we're covering in the free webinar on Sept 28:

โ€ข How many questions are in each section 
โ€ข The split between dental hygiene, application, and critical thinking questions 
โ€ข The new format 
โ€ข And the false info going around โ€” we're setting the record straight

One more thing: the StudentRDH NBDHE Review book is already updated to the new guidelines. You don't have to start over. We've got your back ๐Ÿ’™

Dental hygiene students, come join StudentRDH for a FREE case studies webinar!

Oct 8th - comment CASE for the link ๐Ÿ‘‡

Case studies are the part of the NBDHE everyone puts off โ€” and they carry the most weight, around 43% of the exam.

We're running a free webinar on October 8th where we'll break down what a case study actually is, how many you'll see, and work through a real one live with a Kahoot so you can play along. Live Q&A at the end โ€” ask us anything.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Thursday, October 8th
โฐ 4 PM PT / 6 PM CT / 7 PM ET
๐Ÿ’ธ Free

๐Ÿ‘‰ Comment CASE and we'll send you the link.

NBDHE candidates: the guidelines changed. Is your study plan still current? ๐Ÿ‘€
๐Ÿ’ฌ Comment UPDATE and I'll send you my free summary of what changed, so you know exactly where to focus.

I just finished presenting the NBDHE guideline update, and two topics stood out. Students keep missing them.

If you're testing after Nov 1 2026, you need to know what's shifted. Studying the way you always have may not be enough anymore.

Which tongue papillae have NO taste buds?
A. Filiform

C. Circumvallate 
D. Foliate 

โœ… ๐‚๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐€๐ง๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ: A. Filiform

๐…๐ˆ๐‹๐ˆform = ๐…๐ˆ๐‹๐‹๐„๐‘. Texture only, no taste. 

๐Ÿ’ก๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: 

๐Ÿ”ทFiliform: The most numerous papillae โ€” thin, thread-like, cover the whole dorsum
๐Ÿ‘‰ They give the tongue its rough texture and help grip food 
๐Ÿ‘‰ The ONLY papillae with no taste buds 

๐Ÿ”ท Fungiform: Small red mushroom-shaped dots
๐Ÿ‘‰ Scattered across the tip and sides of the tongue 
๐Ÿ‘‰ They DO carry taste buds 

๐Ÿ”ท Circumvallate: 8โ€“12 large papillae arranged in a V at the back of the tongue
๐Ÿ‘‰ The biggest ones โ€” easy to see in a mirror 
๐Ÿ‘‰ They DO carry taste buds 

๐Ÿ”ทFoliate: Vertical folds along the lateral borders
๐Ÿ‘‰ Look like small ridges near the back sides 
๐Ÿ‘‰ They DO carry taste buds

Wednesday Review Is here! ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿง

Q: Which tooth is MOST likely to have a deeper lingual pit?

(A). Maxillary first molar
(B). Mandibular central incisor
(C). Maxillary central incisor
(D). Maxillary lateral incisor
 
 โ–ถ๏ธ A lingual pit is a depression on the lingual part of the tooth that is surrounded by the mesial and distal marginal ridges, the incisal edge, and the prominent cingulum at the gingival margin. Only anterior teeth have a lingual fossa or pit. With that said, choice A (maxillary first molar) can already be eliminated as posterior teeth do not have lingual pits.
 
โœ… The lingual pit of a maxillary lateral incisor is more pronounced compared to that of other anterior teeth. The deep concavity increases biofilm retention. It is, therefore, important for the clinician to pay special attention to this area and remind the patient to use extra care when brushing those lingual surfaces.
 
๐Ÿ’ฏ Answer: (D). Maxillary lateral incisor ๐Ÿ’ฏ

 โ–ถ๏ธ What about the cusp of Carabelli? 
All of this is available in our Dental Anatomy boards review course for the hygiene exam. But here are some highlights: 
 
๐Ÿ’  Maxillary central incisor: widest crown mesiodistally.
๐Ÿ’   Maxillary lateral incisor: most congenitally missing tooth.
๐Ÿ’  Pronounced cingulum, marginal ridges, fossa, and pit.
๐Ÿ’  Maxillary canine: longest tooth in the dentition. 
๐Ÿ’  2 lingual fossae and one lingual ridge.
๐Ÿ’  Mandibular central incisor: smallest and most symmetrical teeth in the entire dentition.
๐Ÿ’  Mandibular lateral incisor: similar to mandibular central incisor.
๐Ÿ’  Mandibular canine: smoother lingual anatomy compared to its maxillary counterpart.
 
โ–ถ๏ธ This is only half of the summary we have about the teethโ€™s characteristics at StudentRDH. We tried to condense all the books out there such as Mosby and Saunders, plus many more textbooks, but there is still a lot to learn. 

Treat every lecture as if they are super important! The uphill battle is tough. I know, I have been there. But stay #RDHstrong! ๐Ÿ’ฏ
 
Stay tuned for the next mini-review. #Success is near! After that, you will not have to take the exams again!

If this one hurt, thatโ€™s useful information. Comment VITAMINS and weโ€™ll send one practice question a week, all year.๐Ÿฆท

This white patch wipes off and leaves red. What could it be? 
A. Leukoplakia 
B. Lichen planus 
C. Candidiasis 
D. Linea alba 

โœ… ๐‚๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐€๐ง๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ: C. Candidiasis

๐Ÿง  ๐–๐š๐ค๐ž๐”๐ฉ๐Œ๐ž๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒโ„ข
If it WIPES ๐Ÿ‘‰ yeast. 
If it STAYS ๐Ÿ‘‰ biopsy. 
Warning! Not 100% of the time. But for the dental hygiene boards, remember the formula. 

๐Ÿ’ก๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: 

๐Ÿ”ทLeukoplakia: A white patch that will NOT wipe off
๐Ÿ‘‰ It cannot be scraped away or given another diagnosis 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Potentially malignant โ†’ refer for biopsy 

๐Ÿ”ท  Lichen planus: Lacy white lines called Wickham striae
๐Ÿ‘‰ Usually on BOTH cheeks, symmetrical 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Does not wipe off 

๐Ÿ”ท Candidiasis: Creamy white plaques that DO wipe off
๐Ÿ‘‰ Leaves a red, sometimes bleeding base underneath 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Overgrowth of Candida albicans โ†’ think inhalers, antibiotics, dentures, dry mouth 

๐Ÿ”ทLinea alba: A flat white line along the bite plane of the cheek
๐Ÿ‘‰ Caused by pressure from the teeth 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Harmless, bilateral, does not wipe off 

๐Ÿ—๏ธ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐“๐š๐ค๐ž๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ: 
๐Ÿฆท Wipes off + red base = Candida 
๐Ÿฆท Does NOT wipe off โ†’ investigate, don't assume it's harmless 
๐Ÿฆท Steroid inhaler? Tell them to rinse after every use 
๐Ÿฆท White patch that won't budge โ†’ refer
