Q

what are the two forms of odontoma?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. compound

2. complex

24
Q

where is compound odontoma typically found?

25
where is complex odontoma typically found?
posterior jaw
26
if odontoma is not a true neoplasm, what is it?
odontogenic hamartoma
27
what might odontoma be associated with?
failure of tooth eruption
28
T/F: odontoma occurs slightly more frequently in mandible than maxilla
false, more frequently in maxilla than mandible
29
radiographic features of compound odontoma
1. collection of small malformed teeth surrounded by narrow radiolucent rim 2. often overlies impacted tooth
30
radiographic features of complex odontoma
1. calcified mass, if fully formed has density of tooth structure 2. surrounded by narrow radiolucent rim 3. typically overlies impacted tooth
31
histopathologic features of compound odontoma
formation of multiple, small malformed teeth
32
histopathologic features of complex odontoma
admixture of 1. dentin 2. enamel matrix 3. cementum 4. odontogenic epithelium 5. dental papilla
33
tx of odontoma
enucleation
34
px of odontoma
excellent
35
tumors of odontogenic ectomesenchyme
1. odontogenic myxoma | 2. cementoblastoma
36
odontogenic myxoma
benign neoplasm assumed to be of odontogenic origin
37
why is odontogenic myxoma assumed to be of odontogenic origin?
b/c it only affects the jaw bones as a central lesion - no other bones
38
T/F: odontogenic myxoma affects mandible slightly more often than maxilla
true
39
what might larger odontogenic myxoma lesions have?
expansion
40
radiographic features of odontogenic myxoma
1. unilocular radiolucency when small 2. multilocular when large 3. may have "soap bubble" appearance 4. may displace roots 5. may cause root resorption 6. thin, wispy trabeculae of residual bone, often at right angles
41
histopathologic features of odontogenic myxoma
1. spindle-shaped or stellate-shaped fibroblastic cells set in a myxoid background 2. lesional proliferation tens to infiltrate adjacent bony trabeculae (recurrence)
42
odontogenic myxoma histopathologically looks similar to what?
mesenchymal portion of a developing tooth (dental papilla)
43
tx of small odontogenic myxoma lesions
curettage
44
tx of large odontogenic myxoma lesions
en block or segmental resection, depending on the size and site
45
px of odontogenic myxoma
good
46
what contributes to the recurrence rate of odontogenic myxoma?
infiltration esp if only tx'd with curettage
47
where does cementoblastoma appear most often?
most mand molar region, usually 1st molar
48
what is the gender predilection for cementoblastoma?
no gender predilection
49
clinical features of cementoblastoma
1. slow-growing | 2. pain and swelling
50
radiographic features of cementoblastoma
1. well-circumscribed radiopaque mass with fine radiolucent border (PDL) 2. usually obscures the outline of root 3. can cause resorption
51
what is the distinguishing feature of cementoblastoma histopathologically?
fused to root
52
the trabeculae of mineralize material in a cementoblastoma lesion seen histopathologically resembles what?
cementum
53
histopathologic features of cementoblastoma
1. fused to root | 2. trabeculae are rimmed by plump, angular cells
54
what does the angular cells found in cementoblastoma lesions histopathologically represent?
neoplastic cementoblasts
55
differential dx of cementoblastoma
1. osteoblastoma | 2. osteosarcoma
56
tx of cementoblastoma
1. surgical extraction of involved tooth with enucleation of the lesion 2. alternatively, tooth can be endo tx'd and lesion enucleated along with amputation of the involved root
57
px of cementoblastoma
excellent
