4. Physical and Chemical injury Flashcards
Where do most Traumatic Bone Cysts occur?
Mandible
What population is effected by Traumatic Bone Cysts?
Males 10-20 y.o.
What is the Pathogenesis of Traumatic Bone Cysts?
Intramedullary Hemorrhage
- Instead of healing by organization of the clot with bone fill, the clot dissolves leaving an empty hole, rather than organizing with granulation tissue & bone fill
What are the unproven Etiologies of Traumatic Bone Cysts?
- Trauma not proven, but reported in 50%
- Vascular infarct that causes the bone to dissolve
What is the Radiographic appearance of Traumatic Bone Cysts?
- Small to large, well-defined pure RL with sclerotic border (rim of RO around border)
-
Scalloped upper margin interdigitates bwtn tooth roots
- “Tooth floating in bone”
- Lower border of the lesion is above the mandibular canal
What are some surgical findings associated with Traumatic Bone Cysts? (3)
- Aspiration yeilds - air OR serous/bloody non-clotting fluid
- Empty hole at surgery
- No epithelial lining, just a thin fibrous membrane
What is the Treatment protocol for Traumatic Bone Cysts?
- Eventually heals spontaneously without tx
- Surgery induces hemorrhage which speeds healing
Where is a Hematopoietic (Osteoporotic) Bone Marrow Defect found?
Posterior Mandible
In what population does Hematopoietic (Osteoporotic) Bone Marrow Defect typically occur in?
Females (5:1)
What is the pathogenesis of Hematopoietic (Osteoporotic) Bone Marrow Defect?
-
Healing defect – following an extraction
- Red bone marrow fills socket instead of bone
- Left with a RL
What is the etiology of a Hematopoietic Bone Marrow Defect?
Iatrogeneic - follows extraction of a tooth
What is the Radiographic appearance of a Hematopoietic Bone Marrow Defect?
- Small, ill-defined RL in a former extraction site, usually mandibular molar area
- Lobulated with trabecular pattern
What is the Histology of a Hematopoietic Bone Marrow Defect?
- Normal red bone marrow
- Pleomorphic looking cells with fat cells & megakaryocytes (large cells with abundant pink cytoplasm, look like they are multinucleated)
What is the Treatment for a Hematopoietic Bone Marrow Defect?
- Innocuous = Leave Alone
What is the location of a Surgical Ciliated Cyst?
ONLY in Posterior Maxilla
What is the Pathogenesis/Etiology of a Surgical Ciliated Cyst?
- Iatrogenic = antral surgery or when a dental extraction perforates the sinus & fragments of sinus lining becomes entrapped in the maxilla, fragments drop into alveolar bone & proliferates into a cyst
What is the clinical presentation of a Surgical Ciliated Cyst?
- Vague maxillary pain/swelling or discomfort
- History of extraction or oral-antral surgery
What is the Radiographic presentation of a Surgical CIliated Cyst?
Well-defined RL in Posterior Maxilla approximating the sinus
What is the Histology of a Surgical Ciliated Cyst?
Normal sinus lining = pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet mucous cells
What is the Treatment for a Surgical Ciliated Cyst?
Remove and Biopsy
Where is a Pulse Granuloma found?
Mandibular 3rd Molar Extraction Site
What is the Pathogenesis of a Pulse Granuloma?
-
Leguminous vegetable material (pulse) enters extraction site & evokes chronic foreign body inflammatory rxn
- Cellulous can’t be digested
What is the Clinical Presentation of a Pulse Granuloma?
-
Months after an extraction of mandibular 3rd molars the pt gets a dull ache in the area
- Surgical Ciliated Cysts also has the symptom of a dull/vague pain, but they are location in the posterior maxilla
What is the Radiographic appearance of a Pulse Granuloma?
ill-defined RL
What is the Histology of a Pulse Granuloma?
- Spherical bodies surrounded by a foreign body giant cell rxn
Where would a Lipid Granuloma (myospherulosis) be found?
Mandibular 3rd Molar Extraction Site
What is the Pathologenesis of a Lipid Granuloma?
-
Oily foreign body enters or is placed in an extraction site (mand 3rd molars)
- Topical Antibiotic Swab that contains Petroleum
- The lipid causes the foreign body giant cell response
What is the histology of a Lipid Granuloma?
- Clear (lipid) Vacuoles surrounded by a Foreign Body - Giant Cell Rxn
What is the Treatment for a Lipid Granuloma?
Remove and Biopsy
What are the 3 possible ways you can get an Air Emphysema?
-
Opening up a laceration in the oral cavity
- Air/water syringe shoots air into the oral cavity
- Some of the air gets trapped in the laceration & enters soft tissues of face then enters mediastinum
- Blowing lots of air into laceration that has potentially infectious debris from oral cavity
- Using an air syringe during RCT, where a blast of air gets to the tip of the apex
*
What is the Clinical Presentation of an Air Emphysema?
- Pt may have a swollen eye/puffy face
-
Feeling of Crepitus = CLASSIC DIAGNOSTIC SIGN!!!
- Feel bubbles of air between fingers as you palpate
- Might hear a crackle
What is the Treatment for an Air Emphysema?
- Reassure the pt it will reabsorb & go away
- May require hospital if it gets into the mediastinum
What are the Iatrogenic Etiologies of an Amalgam Tattoo? (3)
- Soft tissue laceration during placement OR removal of amalgam
- Fractured amalgam during extraction enters socket
- Apicoectomy with retrofil
What is the Non-Iatrogeneic Etiology of an Amalgam Tattoo?
- Trauma when flossing thru recent proximal amalgams
What is the Radiographic appearance of an Amalgam Tattoo?
- May show RO Particles, if taken with a low Kvp X-Ray
What is the Histology of an Amalgam Tattoo?
- Fine to coarse pigmented granules in CT
- Black, brown or olive green
- Distributed along reticulin fibers appearing as “loose tobacco strands”
- Typically elicits NO inflammatory rxn
- If there is an inflammatory rxn it is probably not totally from amalgam, but maybe the other junk from procedure (tooth fragments, base, composite)
- Occasionally evokes Fibrosis or Giant Cell Rxn
- Can enlarge in size b/c macrophages gobble up amalgam and move throughout tissue
How does an Injection Hematoma occur?
- During a PSA Block or Displaced Mandibular Block
- Went laterally into buccal fat pad and hit the Pterygoid Plexus
What is the Clinical Presentation of an Injection Hematoma?
Looks really scary, but it is harmless
Can Mimic Child Abuse
What is the Etiology of Anesthetic Necrosis?
-
Large Volume Injection = forcing fluid into a tight space
- Worse is Epinephrine is used
- Intra-ligamentary Injection
What are the dermal fillers that can cause a Foreign Body Rxn?
- Collagen
- Hyaluronic Acid
- HAP
What is the pathogenesis of a Foreign Body Rxn to Dermal Fillers?
They can migrate through soft tissue by gravity or compression, depositing years later in oral soft tissues.
What is the Clinical Presentation of a Foreign Body Rxn to Dermal Fillers?
- Presents as a nodular mass, in labial, buccal or vestibular mucosa
What is the Histology of a Foreign Body Rxn to Dermal Fillers?
- Foreign Body Granuloma
- looks like spherical granular brown material
What is the Clinical Presentation of Acute Cheek Biting? (3)
- Small erosion/abrasion
- Heals within a few days
- Painful, the pt can recall biting their cheek
What is the clinical appearance of Chronic Cheek Biting? (4)
- White rough, torn surface, with or w/o red areas
- Bilateral Buccal Mucosa limited to areas accessible to teeth
- NO PAIN
- Creates tags of parakeratin
What is the Histology of Chronic Cheek Biting? (3)
- Acanthosis (thickening of epithelium) + Vacuolated cells
- Macerated, hyperkeratosis
- Blue color on surface of ragged surface from bacteria
What is the Pathogenesis of Linea Alba?
- Constant negative pressure from Cheek Sucking
- NOT from Cheek Biting
What is TUGSE?
A large, deep, chronic, non-healing, non-specific ulcer, usually on the lateral tongue
What is the Pathogenesis of TUGSE?
-
Continual low-grade physical trauma, usually from dentition:
- Sharp, Pointy, Broken, Carious Tooth Edge or Cusp
- Lingually malposed tooth/missing teeth
- Xerostomia
- Parafunctional Habit
- Pointed Lingual Cusp
What population is most effected by TUGSE?
- Older individual with slow healing response
What does TUGSE resemble in location, history, and appearance?
Tongue SCC
What is the Histology of TUGSE?
- Surface ulcer with fibrin coating
- Deep inflammation into MUSCLE with histiocytes and eosinophils
What can TUGSE resemble histologically?
Lymphoma
What differentiates TUGSE from Tongue SCC?
There are no eosinophils in SCC
What is the Treatment for TUGSE?
- Look for the cause 1st and eliminate it
- May not need to biopsy if the cause is eliminated and the lesion resolves
Where is a Pizza Burn most commonly found?
Anterior Palatal Rugae
