gingival tumors and perio abscesses Flashcards
char. of gingival abscesses
localized painful and rapidly expanding
usually just in marginal of papillary gingiva
gingival abscess caused by…
foreign bodies embedded in gingiva
perio abscess char.
localized along lateral root b/c drainage through pocket is impaired esp by calc.
causes of perio abscess
trauma/ root fracture, endo perforation, post SRP/surgical therapy, from a chronic lesion or can be caused by antibiotics (super-infection)
complications of abscess
tooth loss, systemic infections (dissemination through tissues druring therapy or through bacteremia)
differential diagnosis for perio abscess
periapical abscess vertical root fractures endo-perio abscess osteomyelitis tumors
traits of focal fibrous hyperplasia
cause:irritation
sessile , sooth surface cell poor hyperplastic collagenous tissue with possible hyperkeratinization
differential diag. of focal fibrous hyperplasia
giant cell fibroma
reactive processes of soft tissue
focal fibrous hyperplasia
calcified fibroblastic granuloma
pyogenic granuloma
peripheral giant cell granuloma
reactive processes of hard tissue
periapical cemental dysplasia
benign neoplasms of perio soft tissues
hemangioma
nevus
papilloma (inc. verruca vulgaris)
peripheral odontogenic tumors
benign neoplasms of hard tissues
ameloblastoma
squamous odontogenic tumor
benign cementoblastoma
malignant neoplasms of soft tissues
squamous cell carcinoma
metastasis to gingiva
kaposi’s sarcoma
malignant lymphoma
malignant neoplasms of hard tissues
osteosarcoma
langerhans cell disease
traits of calcified fibroblastic granuloma
reddish and ulcerated w/ fibrous proliferation in which hard tissue is formed
highly cell rich
