Oral Pathology Flashcards
(243 cards)
Osteogenesis Imperfecta “Brittle Bones”
genetic defect, affects production of COLLAGEN
- weak bones that break easily
- blue sclera, deaf, loose joints, low muscle tone, triangle face, curved spine
- dentally: bulbous crowns with cervical constriction, obliterated pulps, narrow and short roots, dentin malformation (dentinogenesis type I)
tx: no cure
Hypophosphatasia
resembles Osteogensis Imperfecta
- inherited
- LOW levels of ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE (important for calcifying bone)
- characteristics: looseness, hypocalcification, premature loss of deciduous teeth, large pulp chambers, bone loss
- Perinatal - fails to form skeleton, stillborn
- Infantile - severe rickets, hypercalcemia, bone abnormalities, most cases lethal
- Childhood - premature exfoliation of teeth, more infxn, skeletal anormalities, DWARFS
- Adult - spontaneous fractures, hx of ricks, osseous radiolucencies
Paget’s Disease (Osteitis Deforman)
chornic, non-metabolic disease
- INCREASE in serum ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE
- bones big, deformed, dnse but fragile, has potential to undergo malignant transformation
- affects middle aged and old ppl
- pts predisposed to OSTEOSARCOMAS
clinical features - hx of increasing size of hats or new denture made (bony changes), bones warm
lab tests - high serum alkaline phosphatase, urinary calcium and hydroxyproline
xray - COTTON WOOL, hypercementosis, loss of lamina dura
tx: antimetabolites or CALCITONIN, or tx with high protein and calcium
Osteomalacia
SOFTENING of bones in adults (adult form of Rickets)
-lack of VIT D
-STEATORRHEA one of the common causes due to fat malabsorption
signs and symptoms - pain in bones of arm, leg, spine, pelvis
Rickets
osteomalacia in kids, accompanied by listelessness, irritable, muscle weakness
- bowlegs, pigeon breast, protruding stomach
- dentally: delayed eruption, malocclusion, dentin and enamel abnormality, higher caries rate
Dwarfism (pituitary dwarfs)
arrested growth from undersecretion of growth hormone
oral manifestation - delayed eruption and exfoliation, smaller crowns and roots, small dental arch, malocclusion, underdeveloped mandible
ACHONDROPLASIA is most common type of dwarfism - kid is short, stubby fingers, bowed legs, bulging forehead
Cerebral Palsy
body movement and muscle coordination, damage to motor control centers
-spastic paralysis, impairment of coordination over voluntary muscles, accompanied by MR, seizures, vision and communication disorders
-NO oral manifestations unique to them but more commmon for: perio disease, caries, bruxism, malocclusion, gingival hyperplasia (if Dilantin for seizures), trauma
Down Syndrome
oral manifestations - mandibular prognathism, incr. perio disease, thick tongue, delayed tooth eruption, more missing teeth, malocclusion, enamel dysplasia
Muscular Dystrophy
weakness and degeneration of skeletal or voluntary muscles that control movement
oral manifestations - incr. in dental disease if OH neglected, weak in muscles of mastication, mouth breathing, open bite
Fibrous Dysplasia
GROUND GLASS appearance of bone
- Monostotic - 1 bone
- Polyostotic - 1+ bone
- Polyostotic with ENDOCRINE disturbances (Albright’s Syndrome -> pathologic fractures
swelling mass of bone
tx - surgery
Ectodermal Dysplasia
HEREDITARY, abnormal development of skin and hair, nails, teeth, sweat glands
Clinical signs - hypothrichosis, anhidrosis (no sweat or sebaceous glands, heat intolerance), anodontia, oligodontia, lack of salivary glands, kid looks old
no tx
Cleidocranial Dysostosis
INHERITED, absent or incomplete collar bones, supernumerary teeth, unerupted teeth
Pierre-Robin Syndrome
INHERITED, following findings in the neonate:
micrognathia, glossoptosis, breathing problems, cleft palate
Lateral clefting of lip
failure of MAXILLARY and FRONTAL NASAL PROCESSES to merge
in 5th-6th week of life
more common in males; more common left side
Cleft palate
6th-8th week of life, more common in females
- fissure in midline of palate
- speech and swallowing
Exostosis
slow growing, benign knots on hard palate, tori
Cherubism
BENIGN INHERITED autosomal dominant disease, in kids by 5 yrs., 2x affects males, mostly MANDIBLE
BILATERAL expansion of jaw gives kid a round face
histo - looks like central giant cell granulomas
xrays - multiple, well defined, multi-locular radiolucencies
- perivascular collagen cuffing is pathognomonic
- no systemic manifestations
- may have early exfoliation, delayed eruption
- tends to regress in adulthood so don’t radiate!
Acromegaly
hormonal disorder, when pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone due to a BENIGN tumor after adolescence (fusion of epiphyses)
-in > 90% it’s from ADENOMA
clinical signs - soft tissue swelling of hands and feet, change in ring or shoe size, brow and lower jaw protrude, nasal bone enlarges, teeth spacing increases
oral manifestation - enlarged tongue, mand prognathism, teeth tipped to side, long roots
gigantism - caused by benign tumor BEFORE adolescence
Cystic fibrosis
congenital/heredity metabolic disorder involving EXOCRINE glands, affect GI and respiratory systems
- thick secretions
- most common inherited disease causing death in white ppl in US
characterized by COPD, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, high sweat electrolytes
oral manifestations - staining of teeth (dark), reduced caries rate
signs and symp - poor growth, malabsorption, steatorrhea, COPD, clubbed fingers/toes, barrel chest
Osteomyelitis
inflammation of bone marrow and adj. bone, caused by Staphylococci due to trauma/surgery
signs - pain, red, swelling, malaise
xray - poorly circumscribed radiolucency with central sclerotic nidus
Condensing osteitis (chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis)
bone rxn to infxn, mandibular 1st molar most involved
xray - well circumscribed radiopaque sclerotic bone surruound and extending below apex of root (entire root visible! distinguishes from benign cementoblastoma)
tx - RCT, EXT (sclerosing bone will remain)
Periapical Abscess
from pulpal infxn of tooth, follows caries
Acute - painful to percussion, mobile
Chronic - presents as granuloma or cyst (radiolucent at apex), asymptomatic
tx - DRAIN or ext
Osteoporosis
rdxn of total skeletal mass due to increased bone resorption
- predisposed to fractures caused by clacium or estrogen hormone deficiences
- thin, old, white women
tx - estrogen therapy, calcium, vit D
Osteopetrosis “Albers-Schonberg Disease” or “Marble Bone Disease”
HEREDITARY/congenital, manifests in infancy
- overgrowth and denseness of bones from defect in osteoclasts
- long bones dense and hard so bone marrow is obliterated
signs - abnormal bone and dental development, fragile bones, stunted growth anemia, spleen and liver enlargement, blind, deaf
