Interpretation Flashcards
Some conditions tend to
occur around crown of
impacted teeth
• Dentigerous cyst
• Cystic Ameloblastoma
• Some conditions in missing tooth area :
• Residual cyst
– Some conditions around apices on teeth:
Grauloma ,abscess, cyst.
Internal structure
• Associated with
Impacted tooth
Some conditions tend to occur in a single anatomic site:
• Globulomaxillary cyst
• Incisive canal cyst
Naso alveolar cyst
Median mandibular cyst
Some conditions tend to occur Bilaterally:
• Cherubism
• Odontogenic keratocyst
Metabolic, systemic or endocrine are
Generalized
BELOW inferior dental canal
suggests a Non- Odontogenic,
e.g .,Median mand .,Cyst
Aneurysmal bone cyst
WITHIN inferior dental canal
May be vascular or neurogenic in origin or may be the site of initial lesion in Metastatic disease.
Above inferior dental canal
a Odontgenic, e.g.,Residual cyst, Dentigerous, Lateral period.cyst
SIZE
• Consider the size of the lesion.
• The size may aid in the differential diagnosis .
• e.g.
Dentigerous cyst
SHAPE
The lesion may have a particular shape ,or it may be irregular.
Circular,or scalloped . Expansile e.g
Benign (C.G.Granuloma).
Well defined margins: means
Slowly growing lesions
• Ill defined margins:
• Rapidly growing lesions :an invasive border is associated with rapid growth .e.g. malignant lesions.
a blending margin eg
a blending margin is ill defined between normal and abnormal .e.g. Fibrous dysplasia.
