The next five questions are based on: Scenario B An 18-year-old client has a healthy history with no significant findings. On examination of the dentition, findings reveal pitting of the enamel on the first molars, central incisors, laterals, and canines. In some areas these pits are stained. The client states that this pitting has always been present. The client has developed a carious lesion in a pit that appears at the incisal border of the cingulum of the right maxillary lateral incisor. An invagination of the enamel into the pulp cavity of this lateral incisor is noted. The pitting condition of the enamel is referred to as?

The next three questions are based on: Scenario A A 50-year-old woman is being assessed at an initial appointment. Oral examination reveals bilateral linea alba and nicotine stomatitis (she smokes two packs of cigarettes per day). There is a heavy, white and nicotine-stained coating on hair-like projections of the tongue. The gingiva is very light, coral pink, and fissured. On probing there is generalized recession, bleeding, heavy generalized subgingival and supragingival calculus, and moderate amounts of bacterial plaque in the lingual area of both arches. The clinical appearance of the nicotine stomatitis is attributed to what histological occurance?
