Bone lecture 1 Flashcards
basic bne anatomy
Focal Osteoporotic Defect
Area of hematopoietic marrow which produces a defect
Focal Osteoporotic Defect potential pathogenesis
Aberrant bone regeneration after tooth extraction
Persistence of fetal marrow
Marrow hyperplasia in response to increased demand for erythrocytes
Focal Osteoporotic Defect common demo
75% adult females
Focal Osteoporotic Defect
Clinical and Radiographic features:
location?
symptoms/expansion?
radio app?
70% posterior mandible, MC in edentulous areas
Asymptomatic, nonexpansile
Well-defined or ill-defined radiolucency
Focal Osteoporotic Defect
Histopathologic features:
Cellular hematopoietic/fatty marrow
what bony lesion could this be? cystic lesion?
focal osteoporotic defect
borytiod cyst
OKC
odontogenic fibroma
focal osteoporotic defect
normal marrow with increased fat
dif dx (2)
focal osteo defect
traumatic bone cyst
Focal Osteoporotic Defect
Treatment:
Incisional biopsy indicated to establish diagnosis
No further treatment needed after diagnosis established
focal osteo defect
Traumatic bone cyst
Bone cavity that is empty or fluid-filled
NOT a true cyst – no epithelial lining (pseudocyst)
traumatic bone cyst etilogy
Trauma-hemorrhage theory
where can simple bone cysts occur
Reported in most bones of the body
Traumatic bone cyst
location?
age?
Pain and paresthesia?
May exhibit?
MC in mandible
MC in young patients, peak in the second decade
Pain and paresthesia infrequent
May exhibit painless jaw swelling
Traumatic bone cyst
Radiographic features:
Well-defined, unilocular RL
Occasionally ill-defined, multi-locular
Range from 1-10 cm
RL defect often scallops upward between roots of teeth
Root resorption, cortical expansion infrequent
does root resorb occur with traumatic bone cysts
usually not
Traumatic bone cyst
Treatment:
Cavity contents
resolution
recurrence
Surgical exploration and biopsy
Cavity often empty, may contain serosanguinous fluid
New bone formation, resolve after 1-2 years
Low recurrence
Idiopathic osteosclerosis
(Dense bone island, Bone scar)
Most arise when?
Focally increased bone density of unknown cause
Most arise in late 1st decade or early 2nd decade
Idiopathic osteosclerosis
Clinical features:
growth?
symptoms/expansion?
% location? fav tooth?
May remain static or slowly increase in size
Asymptomatic and nonexpansile
90% occur in mandible, 1st molar MC
Idiopathic osteosclerosis
Radiographic features:
Well-defined radiopacity, 0.2 cm to 2.0 cm
Nonexpansile
Idiopathic osteosclerosis
Diagnosis:
how can we rule against a neoplastic process?
History, clinical features and radiographic findings
Lack of cortical expansion and continued growth rule against a neoplastic process
