Signs and symptoms of maxillary fracture? (7)
pain, swelling, diplopia, assymetry, nose bleed,
altered sensation
mobility
Classification of maxillary fractures?
Le Fort classification
- horizontal
- tooth bearing area detached - pyramidal
- involves nasal bone and infraorbital rim - transverse
- whole maxilla detached from base of skull
involves FZ sutures.

What is a cyst?
pathological cavity not filled with pus. can be filled with fluid, solid, semi-fluid
3 types of cysts and examples of each?
inflammatory, developmental and non-odontogenic
inflammatory- radicular, residual, lateral, paradental
developmental - dentigerous, KCOT, eruption, gingival
non-odontogenic - nasolabial, nasopalatine
Common treatments for cysts, pros and cons
enucleation- removal of whole lining, whole lining can be biopsied, allows primary healing BUT risks of: mandibular #, local damage, loss of tooth
marsupialisation- partial removal, when e is contraindicated. allows tooth eruption, easier BUT can close and reform, difficult after care, full cyst not examinable, slow healing, requires enucleation after
What is a KCOT
Origin of KCOT
Most problematic features of KCOT
keratocystic odontogenic tumour
Rest of Serres - from dental lamina
problematic::
recurrent- 40-60%
due to friable capsule & daughter cysts
later presentation as grows mesially-distally
Histological features of KCOT
thin keratinised epithelium corrugated surface thin friable lining daughter cysts flat basement membrane basal cell palisading parakeratosis
Radiographic features of KCOT
well defined, multilocular radiolucency
extends from angle of mandible to the body and upwards into ramus
bony wall - well demarcated and corticated
What condition are multiple KCOTs associated with
Gorlin- Goltz syndrome
Where do radicular cysts arise from?
epithelial rests of malassez
- part of cells making up periodontal ligament
developed from Hertwigs epithelial root sheath (HERS)
aka periapical cysts
How do radicular cysts appear histologically?
epithelial lined fluid filled cavity
non keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
rests of Malassez
connective tissue capsule w/ cholesterol clefts
hyaline/rushton bodies
How do radicular cysts appear radiographically?
well defined, round, radiolucency at apex of non vital tooth.
unilocular
corticated
continuous with lamina dura
Where do dentigerous cysts arise from?
dentigerous cysts most likely to be seen associated with:
Dental follicle at reduced enamel epithelium and crown
most likely seen in L8s and U3s
How do dentigerous cysts appear histologically?
Thin, non-keratinised stratified squamous epithelium.
attachment to tooth at or close to adj
flat basement membrane
no inflammation
