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
