Test 2 Flashcards
What is an abnormal closed sac of fibrous tissue containing fluid or cells and/or a semi-solid material located in the dermis, subcutaneous tissue or bone?
Cyst
What are the 3 classifications of cysts?
- Inflammatory or Developmental
- Odontogenic or Non-Odontogenic
- Intraosseous or Extraosseous
What is the origin of inflammatory cysts?
Originate from the infection of root canals from caries or trauma
What is the origin of developmental cysts?
Unknown origin
What is the origin of odontogenic cysts?
Formed from tissues involved in tooth development
What is needed to diagnose a cyst?
MH/DH
Clinical features (E/O, I/O etc)
Radiographs
Microscopic analysis (biopsy)
What are the differential diagnosises of cysts?
Abscesses
Benign or malignant neoplasms
Metabolic diseases
Trauma or surgery site
What type of cyst develop from the proliferation of embryonic epithelial cell remnants that become trapped in bone and or soft tissues of the body?
Developmental cysts
True or False: More often developmetal cysts are asymptomatic
True
What type of cyst is this?
Periapical or Radicular
What is the most common type of cyst?
Perioapical or radicular
How do periapical/radicular cysts develop?
From granuloma at the apex of a nonvital tooth
What type of cyst is a remnant epithelial lined cyst?
Residual cyst
How does a residual cyst form?
Post tooth extraction when some or all of the cyst is left behind.
What type of cyst is periapical lateral to tooth root from inflammation exiting a lateral/accessory pulp canal?
Lateral Periodontal Cyst
What type of cyst forms around the crown of an unerupted tooth, such as a wisdom tooth?
Dentigerous
What type of cyst develops in place of a tooth? (meaning no tooth develops)
Primordial
Where are primordial cysts most common?
In place of 8’s or distal to 8’s
Who are primorial cysts usually seen in?
Young adults
How do primordial cysts appear on an x-ray?
Well defined radiolucent lesions that can be unilocular or multilocular
What type of cyst is seen clinically as swelling of gingival mucosa over the crown and is most often associated with baby teeth, lower canines and uppper first molars?
Eruption cyst
What type of cyst is located in soft tissue as a small, whitish bulge or swelling of attached gingiva or papillae mainly in kids?
Gingival cyst
How to treat gingival cysts?
Removal with adults, kids will resolve on its own
What type of cyst commonly arises due to death of pulp of upper lateral incisor and appears on a radiograph as an oval or pear shaped radiolucency between canine and lateral?
Globulomaxillary
