Q

Are multilocular radiolucent lesions more likely to be benign or malignant?

A

Benign..only a mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the malignant exception

21
Q

What is the recurrence rate for an odontogenic keratocyst?

A

33%

22
Q

Once a multilocular lesion was biopsied it was found to have an epithelial lining and palisaded basal cells…what is it?

A

Odontogenic Keratocyst

23
Q

What is the treatment of an odontogenic keratocyst?

A

Enucleate and leave open or place a port

24
Q

Whats the Diff Dx? This 34 year old female complained of swelling of the body of her left mandible. Radiographs of the area showed an EXPANSILE LUCENCY containing numerous FINE OPAQUE bony trabeculations.

A

1.Odontogenic Myxoma 2.Central Odontogenic Fibroma 3. Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma

25
Q

What does LINEAR multilocularity indicate (vs. like a subtle multilocular radiographic lesion)?

A

odontogenic myxoma

26
Q

Which type of lesion will show a microscopic diagnosis of MESODERMAL CELLS and glycosaminoglycans?

A

Odontogenic Myxoma

27
Q

What is the key to removing an odontogenic myxoma?

A

Making the incision/border BEYOND the lesion…(they don’t comeout that easily)

28
Q

Diff Diagnosis AND Provisional Clinical Dx:
An 18 year old African-American female came to your office complaining that her lower front teeth “seemed to be moving”. Tenderness to percussion, slight labial expansion. Radio: LARGE UNILOCULAR RADIOLUCENCY from #28 to #21

A
  1. Ayneurismal Bone Cyst (ABC) 2.Amelioblastoma 3.Central Giant Cell Granuloma…Provisional Clinical Dx: Central Giant Cell Granuloma (**CROSSES MIDLINE)
29
Q

What is a systemic condition that is HISTOLOGICALLY IDENTICAL to a Central Giant Cell Granuloma? So what can it clinically be confused with?

A

HYPERPARATHYROIDISM!!…can be confused with Benign Adenoma

30
Q

What are the two most associated oral pathologies with African American females?

A

P-CODs and C-GGs…Periapical Cemento-Osseus Dysplasia and Central Giant cell Granuloma

31
Q

So we believe that an African American female has a P-COD (Periapical Cemento-Osseus Dysplasia) (the teeth tested vital). Whats the Tx?

A

NOTHING. The radiopaque lesions will eventually ossify/MATURE over time

32
Q

What are the two types of COD (Cemento-Osseus Dysplasia)?

A

Focal (one location) vs Florid (multiple lesions)

33
Q

MRONJ: Radiographically an area of ill-defined (LUCENCY or OPACITY?) was seen in the right maxilla.

A

opacity

34
Q

IV aka (_____ type) bisphosphonates have a ___x more risk for MRONJ

A

aka AMINO type…5x

35
Q

Hmmm Diff Dx plz (LETS DO 4 OPTIONS, WITH a Provisional Clinical Dx)…A 34 year old white male is a new patient in your practice. He is asymptomatic but in routine radiographs, you discover a roughly 4-5 mm radiopacity distal to #18. There is no expansion. (Teeth test VITAL)

A

(Condensing osteitis-ONLY IF TOOTH WAS NON VITAL!!) 1.Idiopathic Osteosclerosis 2.Cementoblastoma 3. Cemento-Osseus Dysplasia (COD) 4.Odontoma….Provisional Clinical Dx: IDIOPATHIC OSTEOSCLEROSIS

36
Q

What are the 3 go to’s when we see a RADIOPAQUE lesion? (if really narrows things down for us!)

A

Ok, well these are just a start I Guess.. 1.Condensing Osteitis (teeth test NON-vital) 2.COD (Cemento-Osseus Dysplasia) 3. Idiopathic Osteosclerosis

37
Q

GET READY: 6 for the Diff Dx…. 26 y/o AA female. RL lesion in body of Left mandible. Expansion of Buccal cortex…After 1 year, expansile RL with MULTIPLE FOCI of opacification

A
  1. Ossifying Fibroma 2.Fibrous Dysplasia 3.Pinborg Tumor (aka CEOT: Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor) 4.Gorlan Cyst (aka COC lol Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst) 5.Osteoblastoma 6.Ameloblastic Firbro-Odontoma
38
Q

So our 26 y/o AA female with the RL multifocal opacifications got biopsied and found fibroblasts making Calcium deposits…what is the Dx?

A

Ossifying Fibroma (holy S! FIBROblasts making BONE-ossifying)

39
Q

Diff Dx (3) & Provisional Clincial Dx: 17y/o while male, pain in R post mand. Radio:2cm RO mass ATTACHED to D root of #30. The mass is surrounded by a THIN RL ZONE.

A

1.Cementoblastoma 2.COD 3.Odontoma…Provisional Clinical Dx: Benign CementoBlastoma

40
Q

What are the three things we see radiographically to make a Dx of a Benign Cementoblastoma?

A

1.RadiOpaque 2.RadioLucent Lining 3.Ankylosed to the root causing RESORPTION

41
Q

What are the two R.O. pathologies that are very similar radiographically but one occurs on vital teeth and one on non-vital?

A

Condensing Osteitis=non-vital…Benign CementoBlastoma =vital

42
Q

THIS WILL BE ON THE EXAM: A well circumscribed RL on a 15 y/o male between #5 and #6…Inferior half of the lesion contains OPACITIES resembling TOOTH-LIKE structures..NO Diff Dx, just a Provisional Clinical Dx

A

ODONTOMA (young in age, tooth like opacities)

43
Q

What are the two types of ODONTOMAS?

A

Compound and Complex. Compound=little calcifications look like teeth….Complex=a mass of enamel and dentin that does NOT look anything like a tooth

44
Q

What is the thin RL lining in an odontoma?

A

the FOLLICLE (fibrous sac)

45
Q

What is the Tx for an odontoma?

A

Excision, they can block permanent teeth from erupting

46
Q

What is the name for an odontoma that just stops growing? (exceedingly rare-hint: it is a neoplasm that resembles the surrounding tissue)

A

Hamartoma

47
Q

Diff Dx (only 2) and Provisional Clinical Dx…16 y/o Hisp. female w. LARGE R.O. mass OVERLYING the crown of an impacted #18.

A

1.Ossifying Fibroma 2.Odontoma…Prov Clin Dx: COMPLEX ODONTOMA

48
Q

Diff Dx (5) and Prov Clin Dx: 52 y/o AA female w. MULTIPLE GLOBULAR OPACITIES throughout the maxilla and mand

A

1.Florid COD 2. Ossifying Fibroma 3.Idiopathic osteosclerosis 4.Pagets disease 5.Gardner Syndrome…Prov Clin Dx: Florid COD (based on gender and race)

49
Q

What is the Tx for Florid COD?

A

monitor and try to avoid surgery-areas are of low blood supply and are prone to infection
