cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is malignant
false, benign
T/F: COD may be a reactive process
true
where may COD originate from?
fibroblasts of PDL vs. defect in bone remodeling
what is the most common fibro-osseous lesion encountered in clinical practice of dentistry?
COD
what are the 3 different types of COD?
- periapical COD
- focal COD
- florid osseous dysplasia
what is obtained at the time of surgery for COD?
multiple small gritty fragments
COD is commonly seen in who?
- black females
- east Asian females
- white females
focal type COD is reported to be more common in who?
white females
T/F: COD can affect both genders and any ethnic group
true
T/F: COD is usualyl found incidentally on x-ray
true
where does COD affect?
tooth-bearing areas of jaws
clinical features of COD
- asymptomatic
2. swelling, discomfort unusual
T/F: COD teeth test NON-vital
false, vital
COD ranges radiographically from?
from completely radiolucent to densely radiopaque with a thin radiolucent rim (PDL remains intact)
what does the florid osseous dysplasia show radiographically?
multiple “cotton wool” type radiopacities in at least 2 quadrants of the jaws
what might the florid osseous dysplasia seen radiographically be associated with?
simple bone cyst
severity of periapical COD
mild
severity of focal COD
moderate
severity of florid osseous dysplasia
severe
where does periapical COD typically affect?
mandibular anterior region usually, but maxillary anterior as well
who is especially affected by periapical COD?
middle-aged black females
how does periapical COD initially appears as?
initially unilocular radiolucencies at apices, central opacity develops gradually
T/F: COD is symptomatic
false, asymptomatic
what can perioapical COD be confused with?
- hypercementosis
- idiopathic osteosclerosis
- benign cementoblastoma
who does focal COD more often affects?
white females
where does focal COD affect?
body of mandible
how does focal COD appear radiographically?
unilocular radiolucency or radiopacity with thin radiolucent rim
T/F: focal COD is asymptomatic
true
what can focal COD be confused with?
- ossifying fibroma
2. a true neoplasm
who is most commonly affected by florid osseous dysplasia?
middle-age or older black females
T/F: usually only one quadrant of the jaw is affected by florid osseous dysplasia
false, multiple
florid osseous dysplasia is generally asymptomatic unless what?
overlying mucosa ulcerates resulting in bony sequestration (e.g. from ill’fitting denture)
T/F: dental implants are NOT recommended for pts with florid osseous dysplasia
true
florid osseous dysplasia lesions tend to be what?
hypovascular
hypovascular florid osseous dysplasia lesions are prone to what?
- necrosis
- infection
- osteomyelitis with minimal provocation
- reduced ability to heal
histopathologic features of COD
- cellular fibrous CT with embedded mineralize tissue resembling either immature (woven) bone or cellular cementum
- fragmented specimen
3.
what does the mineralized product of COD resemble histopathologically?
ginger root
T/F: mature COD lesions have more mineralized product than cellular stroma histopathologically
true
florid osseous dysplasia can show densely mineralized tissue with what histopathologically ?
necrotic debris and inflammation
diagnosis of COD is based on what?
clinical and radiographic features
what can be used to confirm the diagnosis of COD?
by bx if indicated
