Q

What is the Pathogenesis of Traumatic Bone Cysts?

A

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

Q

What are the 3 possible ways you can get an Air Emphysema?

A
  1. 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
  2. Blowing lots of air into laceration that has potentially infectious debris from oral cavity
  3. Using an air syringe during RCT, where a blast of air gets to the tip of the apex

What is the Indirect Theory for Radiation Injury?

A
  • Radiation kills tissue by ionization of H2O forming free radicals that damage cell structures
114
Q

What tissues are Radio-Sensitive, most easily destroyed, they grow fast? (4)

A
  • Hematopoietic
  • Lymphoid
  • Germ Cells
  • GI Epithelium
115
Q

What tissues are Radio-Responsive - reasonably susceptible, but can regenerate? (6)

A
  • Skin
  • Salivary Glands
  • Oral muscosa
  • Osteoclasts, -blasts
  • Growing CT
  • Endothelium of bv
116

A
  • Muscle
  • Mature CT
  • Neutrophil
  • Nerve
  • CNS
  • RBC
117
Q

How many rad is needed to kill malignant tumor cells/ how many per day?

A
  • 4000-7000
    • 4000 for fast growing tumors (lymphomas)
    • 7000 (SCCA)
  • Most Adenocarcinomas and well differentiated tumors are radiation
  • Fractionate doses ~200 rad/day
118
Q

What are the effects of Radiation on Skin?

A
  • Radiation Dermatitis
    • Begins 2 weeks post radiation (kills basal cells)
    • Skin in path appears sunburned
    • Heals in 3 weeks, with permanent atrophy, pigmentation, hair loss, and telangectasia
119
Q

What are the musculoskeletal effects of radiation and how do you treat them?

A
  • Trismus due to fibrosis or a Spasm of muscle and TMJ capsule
  • Rx with Jaw Opening Exercises, so collagen won’t form as strongly
120
Q

What is the effect of radiation on taste buds?

A
  • Hypogeusia several weeks post radiation but often returns > 4 month
  • Some pts are left with permanent hypogeusia or dysgeusia
  • Rx with Zinc helps with tast
121
Q

What is radiation’s effect on Mucosa?

A
  • 180-200 rad 5x day cause mucositis
  • Basal cells damaged immediately
    • Mucosa gets red, sore and sloughs 2-4 wks later (latency)
  • Severe Pain, then heals with atrophy and fibrosis starting in 3 weeks
  • Candida is common due to xerostomia
122
Q

What is radiations effect on Salivary Glands?

A
  • 1000-3000 rad = Reversible
  • >4000 rad = Irreversible
  • Serous Glands most affected, mucosa glands less affected
  • Resulting in Xerostomia with thick, ropy, mucous saliva
123
Q

What is Radiations Effect on Teeth?

A
  • No Effect on Formed Teeth (radio-resistant)
  • Rampant encircling cervical “radiation” caries due to xerostomia
    • Amputates the tooth
    • Seen in Meth Mouth
  • Damages developing tooth buds in path
124
Q

What is Radiations effect on Bone?

A
  • Damages endothelium causing occlusion of bone vessels and osteoblasts
  • Mature bone is stable until injured, then vascular infarct - Osteoradionecrosis
  • Almost always in Mandible (x24)
  • Unexpected with dose <6000 rad
125
Q

How do mange a radiated pt, and what is the timing of the tx?

A
  • EXTRACT non-restorable or perio involved, Mandibular teeth in Field of Radiation
    • Especially if salivary gland damage is anticipated,
    • Trying to prevent Osteoradionecrosis
  • Best Time is > 1 month before tx
  • NEVER EXTRACT DURING Rad Tx
  • Ok to extract within 4 months of tx but NOT AFTERWARD!
  • Extractions must be atraumatic
    • Give pt Vit. E and pentoxifylline (improves blood flow)
  • Wait on Dentures after FM Extractions
    • Sore Spots = Emergency
126
Q

What does MRONJ preferentially affect?

127
Q

What does Sanguinaria Rxn cause histologically?

A

Hyperkeratosis and Dysplasia in 20%

128
Q

What are the Oral Manifestations of Heavy Metal Poisioning? (4)

A
  • Heavy metal line on the free gingiva
  • Ptyalism - excessive salivation
  • Metallic Taste
  • Severe Gingivitis and Periodontitis with Generalized Tooth Loss
    • Direct toxic effects from sulfide salts
    • Mercury is the worst - perio destruction and tooth loss
129
Q

What are the 3 classes of medications that cause Drug Induced Gingival Hyperplasia (Fibromatosis)?

A
  1. Anticonvulsants (Dilantin)
  2. Calcium Channel Blocker (Nifidipine)
    • Most likely
  3. Cyclosporine
    • immunosuppressant (anti-rejection drug of transplants)
130
Q

What is the etiology of the Allergic Form of Angio(neurotic) Edema?

A

Type 1 Allergic Rxn

131
Q

What is the clinical presentation of the Allergic Form of Angio(neurotic) Edema?

A
  • Rapid, Painless, Swelling of lips, face, eyelids, tonge, FOM, larynx
  • May have tingling or burning
  • Lasts 24-36 hrs, if left alone
132
Q

What is the etiology of the Non-Hereditary Form of Angio(neurotic) Edema?

133
Q

What is the etiology of the Hereditary Form of Angio(neurotic) Edema?

A
  • Absence of C1 esterase inhibitor
    • ​Normally inhibits the action of complement cascade
    • If not inhibited - kinin production is unchecked
    • Causes major swelling to minor allergens
134
Q

What is the result of the Hereditary Form of Angio(neurotic) Edema?

A

25% fatal airway obstruction

135
Q

What is the etiology of the ACE Inhibitor Form of Angio(neurotic) Edema?

A
  • Increased Bradykinin
  • May occur spontaneously or be set off by manipulation
136
Q

Which forms of Angio(neurotic) Edema do not respond to antihistamines, epi, or steroids, and may require the airway to be maintained?

A
  • Hereditary Form
  • ACE Inhibitor Form
137
Q

What is the DD of Angio(neurotic) Edema aka other causes of sudden swelling of face?

A
  • Ludwig’s Angina
  • Carvernous Sinus Thrombosis
  • Cervicofacial (Air) Emphysema
138
Q

What systemic drug is most likely to cause Stomatitis Medicamentosa?

A

Antibiotics

139
Q

How does Stomatitis Medicamentosa manifest?

A
  • Acute, confluent ulcers
  • Lichenoid lesions
  • Blisters
140
Q

What does Stomatitis Medicamentosa look like clinically?

A
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radiation Mucositis
141
Q

What is the Diagnostic Histology of Stomatitis Venenata to Cinnamon?

A
  • Lichenoid Rxn (sub-epithelial inflammation)
    • This is also the hallmark of LP
  • But with a distinct Perivascular Infiltrate
    • Also seen in LE, but less prominant
