Which muscle is primarily affected during a vestibuloplasty?
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.
