Which muscle is primarily affected during a vestibuloplasty?

  1. Mentalis
  2. Buccinator
  3. Masseter
  4. Mylohyoid
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Mentalis

The mentalis muscle is the primary muscle sectioned/repositioned during a vestibuloplasty (deepening of the vestibule in the anterior mandible). The buccinator is involved in the posterior lateral vestibule, not the primary target. Masseter and mylohyoid are not involved.
