chpt 15- odontogenic cysts and tumors ppt Flashcards
(112 cards)
develops from separation of follicle around a crown
dentigerous cyst
Most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst
dentigerous cyst
character of dentigerous cyst
encloses crown of an unerupted tooth and is attached to the tooth at the CEJ
How will the dentigerous cyst appear radiographically
Well defined radiolucency around the crown of an impacted or unerupted tooth; > 3.0mm from crown to edge of RL
Dentigerous cyst demographics
M > F, 10-30 years, Whites > Blacks
Can dentigerous cyst cause resorption of adjacent tooth
yes
clinical features of dentigerous cyst
- usually asymptomatic
- found on routine examination
- RARELY CAUSES EXPANSION
are DCs UL or ML?
- Large DC may give the impression of a multilocular process due to persistence of bone trabeculae within the radiolucency
- DC are grossly and histopathologically unilocular processes
Treatment for DC
- Curettage of cyst with or without extraction of impacted tooth
- No recurrence expected
- Large DC may be treated by marsupialization which permits decompression of the cyst, with a resulting reduction in size of the bone defect
most common location for DC
Mandibular 3rd molar
Maxillary canines
Maxillary 3rd molars
Mandibular 2nd premolars
histology for DC
SSE with cyst wall devoid of inflam-mation
IROE
Soft tissue analogue of DC
eruption cyst
Separation of the dental follicle around the crown of a developing tooth within the soft tissue overlying alveolar bone
eruption cyst
Soft, translucent swelling in gingival mucosa overlying the crown of tooth in kids < 10
eruption cyst
Surface trauma may result in considerable blood (eruption hematoma)
eruption cyst
treatment for eruption cyst
- may not be required due to spontaneous rupture, allowing tooth to erupt
- simple excision of roof of cyst if it doesn’t erupt
Grow antero-posterior direction within medullary bone without expansion
OKC
most common location for OKC, where it is found 60-80% of the time
-mandible- body and ascending ramus
demographics
- males > females
- 60% bwn 10-40
Histology for OKC
1) uniformly thin 6-8 cell layers of epithelium
2) no rete pegs
3) prominent basal cell layer
- can be parakeratin or orthokeratin
- high recurrence rate
treatment for OKC
- Enucleation & curettage
- Peripheral ostectomy
- Chemical cauterization after cyst removal
- Decompression
Multiple BCCa Odontogenic keratocysts Rib and vertebral anomalies Intracranial calcifications Palmar & plantar pits
Basal cell carcinoma syndrome
Small superficial keratin-filled cysts on alveolar mucosa of infants
gingival cyst of the newborn
Common in ½ of newborns and disappear spontaneously by rupture into oral cavity
