23

24
Q

dermatoglyphics

A

lines forming a skin pattern

25
crenated
scalloped
26
varicose
abnormally swollen, distended or dilated
27
scale
flakes of retained surface keratin
28
crust
dried blood, serum, or purulent exudate (pus) on the skin surface
29
size
use a periodontal probe or millimeter/centimeter ruler
30
site
tongue, labial and/or buccal mucosa, hard and/or soft palate, be specific; can include right, left, anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, adjacent to..., midline, between, etc. Example: ...right buccal mucosa at the line of occlusion near the commissure...
31
shape
round, oval, irregular, linear, triangular, lacy, crenated, etc.
32
surface
raised, flat, fissured, smooth, ragged, cobblestone, plaque, petechiae, purpura,, ecchymosis, elevated, depressed, ulcerated, crust, erosive, papillary, verrucous, pustule, vesicle, bulla, etc.
33
symmetry
can pertain to symmetry of the lesion itself or whether the findings are, or are not bilaterally symmetrical Examples: ...bilaterally symmetrical on the posterior buccal mucosa..., ... an asymmetrical dark brown plaque...
34
color
look at the lesion and decide what color it is. It may be tissue-colored. Sometimes 2 or even 3 colors can be combined. Examples: ...a blue-black macule..., ...coral-pink..., white, erythematous (which implies not only red, but that it has this appearance due to injury, inflammation or irritation) refer to the power point presentation on Descriptive Terminology.
35
borders/margins
well-defined, blended, discrete, crisply defined, irregular, scalloped, etc.
36
mode of attachment
sessile, pedunculated, broad based, narrow based, etc.
37
consistency
firm, fluctuant, soft, indurated, hard, bony hard, rubbery, thick, viscous, watery, thin, etc.
38
number
1, 2, 3, etc. or solitary, multiple, scattered
39
DISTRIBUTION (if applicable; indicate in which site or location):
solitary, widespread
40
Types of Descriptive Terminology for Radiographs
size, position, shape, border, density and internal structure, effect(s)on adjacent structures
41
size (radiographic)
size on radiographs can be measured in mm or cm, but may best be described by the anatomic position of the boundaries, e.g., “extends from the alveolar crest to the superior border of the inferior alveolar and from the mesial root of #31 to the entire distal of #32”
42
position (radiographic)
localized, generalized, unilateral, bilateral, mandible, maxilla, relation to the crown and/or root. Also note the position of the epicenter if applicable, i.e., the center of the lesion
43
shape (radiographic)
oval, round, scalloped, scooped, triangular, tear-drop, expansile
44
border (radiographic)
well-demarcated, corticated, well-defined, ill-defined, blended, radiopaque, radiolucent, thick, thin, radiolucent rim
45
density and internal structure (radiographic)
completely radiolucent, completely radiopaque, mixed radiolucent-radiopaque, septae, unilocular, mulitlocular
46
effect(s) on adjacent structures (radiographic)
expansion, resorption, displacement
