midterm Flashcards
(49 cards)
will get inflammatory exudate enter the PDL at root apex= widening of PDL space= first xr appearance
-discont. of lamina dura
acute periapical abscess
reversible and irreverisble pulpitis (acute= may not see anything or may see widening of PDL)
eventually get a PPA radiolucency = chronic
can be CPA, periapical granuloma, periapical cyst
these are all under the same term
abscess and granulomas go back and forth
periapical rarefying osteitis
normal to see small radiolucency with sclerotic bone around it
requires RCT
usually ill defined border
chronic periapical apical abscess
Inflammatory like granulation tissue
Develops from pre-existing abscess and then changed to granuloma
OR initial PA lesion from infection
Can have well or ill defined borders, may have a thin radiopaque border around it, may have external root resorption at apex
Requires RCT
periapical granuloma
most common cyst in jaw
-usually develops from granuloma, cystic degeneration of granuloma= fluid filled cavity
-may get larger and flatten out by other teeth
-usually well defined RADIOPAQUE BORDER
does not require RCT
periapical cyst
residual remnants of periapical cysts. they occur due to incomplete removal of periapical cysts during a previous tooth ext= more common
=cyst was nucleated during procedure but has returned is this:
recurrent/residual cyst
Aka parulis or gum boil or DST
Infection perforates through bone, drains, builds up, and drains again = feel good for a little bit
May or may not see the draining sinus tract in the radiograp
chronic apical abscess
Inflammatory fluid penetrating through sinus and elevates the periosteum = stimulates it to lay down a thin layer of bone, this process repeats itself multiple times
Aka periostitis
Essentially elevating the floor of sinus in that area
periapical halo formation
etiology unknown
mainly involves lower incisors (anterior mandible) → multiple lesions
Lamina dura is discontinuous, well-defined margins, BUT teeth are vital
radiolucent can easily be misdx as PA lesion
middle aged AA and asian females
3 stages of development:
radiolucent, fills in with small radiopacities, eventually mainly radiopaque with thin radiolucnet border
periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia
after tooth ext
If periosteum is destroyed, loses ability to produce bone = distinct radiolucent area with sharp border that is NOT corticated (not radiopaque)
should NOT change over time
also after surgery such as surgical apicoectomy
fibrous healing defect
variation of fibrous healing defect after doing endo on tooth
near apex, may reach a point where it stops filling in with bone
DOES NOT change over time and doesn’t mean RCT wasnt unsuccessful
apical scar
if cancer metastasizes from different other, it can affect teeth
PA radiolucent with strands of trabecular bone
if gets in PDL= irregular widening of PDL (not uniform)
metastatic carcinoma
remnant of dental follicle adjacent to a developed crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth should be no greater than
3 pano
2.5 PA
2 CBCT
follicular space
if dental follicle gets infected, the inflammation spreads along the deep fascial planes
redness, pain, fever
can cause cellulitis- facial swelling
abx and ext
pericoronitis
2nd most common cyst in jaw (20%)
-cystic lining arises from remnants of dental follicle
wider than 3mm
well defined radiolucency with corticated borders
ages 20-30
enucleate, surgery and remove tooth as well
older pts= dont need to remove impacted tooth bc hasn’t become cystic yet
-it can expand and displace nearby teeth, and eventually turn in to two things:
dentigerous cyst
ameloblastoma and squamous cell carcinoma
soft tissue fluid filled swelling of crestal mucosa in area of erupting tooth, usually blueish color due to trauma
lack of alveolar bone
younger than 10 and in mixed dent
usually mand molars
can rupture on own or may need simple excision
eruption cyst
mixed odontgenic tumor, filled with solid mass of cells
well defined pericoronal radiolucency assoc with developing tooth, usually corticated and can expand
exception: sometimes tissue can separate from developing tooth and be on its own
70 younger than 20yo!!!!!!!
sites: mand molar and PM area
enucleation and usually tooth with it
ameloblastic fibroma
where is it located again?
mixed odontogenic tumor, similar to ameloblastic fibroma but has mineralized stroma
radiopacity tooth like structures in the lumen, well corticated
younger than 15yo
site: posterior mandible
if it EXPANDs and displace tissues, really aggressive= odontoameloblastoma
ameloblastic fibro-odontoma
where is it located again?
3-7% of odontogenic tumors, can cause asymptomatic swelling in jaw, will get larger and displaced more tissue
histo: arranged into duct like glandular array
widened follicular space, well demarcated radiolucency with corticated border, may or may not see flecks on xr
mostly in anterior jaw of maxilla
remove tumor and usually doesnt reoccur
adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
where is it located again?
aka pindborg tumor
50% assoc with impacted teeth
VERY aggressive, rare
radiopaque flecks due to calcifed amyloid, breakdown product of neoplastic epithelial cells that calcify called Leisegang rings
tx resection (tumor and more tissue)
age 40 yo
most in mandible posterior
calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor
where is it located?
age?
gorlin cyst
variable, can behave as neoplasm but is true cyst
varies from uni-multi and have some radiopacities in lumen
not age/gender specific
enucleation, minimal recurrence
calcifying odontogenic cyst
described as heart shaped radiolucency when superimposed with anterior nasal spine, but its actually shaped ovoid
incisive canal (nasopalatine) cyst
developmental cyst that occurs along line of embryonic fusion
when primary and secondary palate fuse
between CI where incise foramen is
may have DST, very slow growing
unilocular radiolucency in max midline, alters incisive canals, can cause root divergence, usually corticated
older age
incisive canal (nasopalatine) cyst
development cyst from fusion of mand halves, VERY rare
in middle of mandible (symphysis)
unilocular radiolucency in the symphyseal region
median mandibular cyst
