What is the CONTROVERSIAL bony condition that is often confused with other pathologic conditions, particularly cemento-osseous dysplasia which frequently becomes secondarily infected?
Chronic Diffuse Sclerosing Osteomyelitis
26
Chronic Diffuse Scelerosing Osteomyelitis is the controversial bony condition that is often confused with other pathologic conditions, particularly ___________ which frequently becomes secondarily infected
cemento-osseous dysplasia
27
Chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis is considered to be a reaction to LOW GRADE odontogenic infection, often following ______ or surgery
TRAUMA
28
Chronic DIFFUSE sclerosing osteomyelitis is equivalent to chronic FOCAL sclerosing osteomyelitis but it affects a ______ area of bone in _____ quadrant
LARGE...ONE
29
Where in the mouth does Chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis CHARACTERISTICALLY affect??
posterior mandible
30
Why are antibiotics NOT effective in chronic diffuse sclerosing ostromyelitis?
the slcerotic bone is HYPOVASCULARIZED..abx will never get there
31
What is the nickname for Chronic Osteomyelitis w/ proliferative periostitis??
Garre's Osteomyelitis
32
What is the offical term for Garre's Osteomyelitis? (again be careful, there are 5 freggin' words here)
Chronic Osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis
33
Which form of osteomyelitis is this?? Low grade osteomyelitis Immune competent host...Usually YOUNGER patients therefore Inflammation involves PERIOSTEUM
Chronic Osteomyelitis with Proliferative Periostitis (Garre's Osteomyelitis)
34
In Garre's Osteomyelitis it is a ________ osteomyelitis Immune competent host...Usually _______ patients therefore Inflammation involves ________
low grade...younger...periosteum
35
Since Garre's ostomyelitis involves the periosteum, it will be ON or NEAR the ________
coritcal surface
36
Which ostomyelitis is this describing? Draining sinus tract from an infected tooth most often Periosteal inflammation stimulates bone production
Garre's osteomyelitis (chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis)
37
What is the clinical presentation of Garre's Osteomyelitis? What causes this swelling?
Bony hard swelling...a thin layering of cortical bone produces the expansion
38
Which arch is more affected in Garre's Osteomyelitis?
the mandible
39
In the radiographic findings of Garre's Osteomyelitis Immature bone is laid down outside the _______ but under the ________..ALSO may leave some degree of ______ under the cortex
cortex...periosteum...lucency
40

ONION SKIN pattern
41
Radiographically in Garre's osteomyelitis ______ bone is weakly opaque, usually less dense than ______ bone
layered...cortical
42
Which radiographic view in Garre's osteomyelitis is best for visualizing the "layering" of the bone?
occlusal films
43
What are the two treatment possibilites for Garre's Osteomyelitis?
RCT or Ext

Do you Rx Abx for Garre's Osteomyelitis?
NO, they do not alter the process
45
What is the clinical term for dry socket?
Alveolar Osteitis
46
Where is alveolar osteitis most likely to occur and what contidtion increases its likeliness?
Mandibular 3rd molars and infection increases likeliness
47
