Developmental/Genetic Flashcards
Development of the human body as a complex process with a series of _ _ and _
cell divisions
differentiation
_ disorder is different from developmental disorder; caused by an abnormality in the genetic makeup.
inherited
_ disorder, one which is present at birth. It can be either inherited or developmental
congenital
One of the most common and major congenital defects in humans. About 1 out of every 700-1000 live births.
Cleft lip/cleft palate
Majority of cases of cleft lip/cleft palate are…
CL + CP (45%)
Simplest form of CP
cleft uvula/bifid uvula
failure of fusion of palatal shelves
cleft palate
failure of merging of maxillary process with medial nasal process
cleft lip
bifid uvula often accompanied by _ _ cleft
submucosal palatal
Mandibular micrognathia->glossoptosis and airway obstruction->palatal cleft
Pierre robin sequence
normal variation of mucosa, not premalignant, more intense in dark skinned races, more intense in smokers, bilateral, opalescent film, reduces when mucosa is stretched
leukoedema
Potential causes of _: congenital such as down syndrome, neoplasia such as lymphangioma or neurofibromatosis, amyloidosis, myxedema
macroglossia
“tongue-tied”, occurrence of gingival recession
ankyloglossia
results from the failure of migration of the primitive thyroid tissue from its developmental location to its normal position in the neck, as a nodule at the base of the tongue, in the midline
lingual thyroid
association with geographic tongue, a component of melkerson-rossenthal syndrome
fissured tongue
EBV-associated condition; not developmental, not premalignant, in HIV+ patients
oral hairy leukoplakia
a small nodular excrescence of normal compact bone, asymptomatic, on the buccal aspect of alveolar ridge, no sex predilection
exostosis
torus: more common in _
women
stylohyoid syndrome, calcified stylohyoid ligament, post tonsillectomy
eagle syndrome
latent bone cyst, static bone cyst, lingual mandibular salivary gland depression, below IA canal, pseudo cyst (no epithelial lining), depression in lingual wall of mandible, accommodates salivary gland tissue
stafne defect
within the soft tissue of the lip and below the ala of the nose, soft tissue cyst not intrabony
nasolabial cyst
well defined oval or heart shaped radiolucency between apices of roots of vital maxillary central incisors
nasopalatine duct cyst
