Salivary gland: 19%
Mucosal: 12%
What percentage of Periapical path was seen and what type of lesions were they?nand how frequent were they?
Radicular cyst
Residual cyst
Chronic apical gran
13% of cases
Now can you classify lesions?
Newborn Infective/ulcerative Pigmented, vascular and red lesions Exophytic Gingival enlargement
Which newborn pathology is there?
Gingival cysts of infancy which include:
- Bohns nodules
- Gingival cyst of newborn
- Epstein pearl
Rare:
congenital epulis of newborn
Melanotic nueroectoderma, tumour of infancy
Other
Partial ankyloglossa
How do gingival cysts appear?
Small
White
Grey lesions on mucosa, alveolar ridge and hard palate
How common are gingival cysts of newborn?
75% of new borns
Why may parents not know their babies have gingival cysts?
Asymmptomic and rupture witching first three months of life
What is the name of the gingival cyst that occurs on the alveolar ridge?
Bohns nodules
Where do Bohns nodules arise from?
They arise from the remanants of the dental lamina
What is the dental lamina?
It is the earliest epithelium to grow into ectomesenchyme
What are the remnants of dental lamina called?
Epithelial cell rests of serres
Where are the epithelial cell rests of serres located?
In the CT between the developing tooth crowns and oral mucosa
What can happen to the Bohns nodules?
Can undergo cystic degen
What are the midline raphe cysts called?
Epstein pearls
How do Epstein pearls develop?
Small lesions located along the Palatal midline and they develop from trapped epithelium in the Palatal raphe which then undergo cystic change
What are Epstein pearls lined by?
Keratinising stratified squamous epithelium
Wheee do you find a congenital epulis?
Rare lesion seen in neonates
Usually in the anterior maxilla along the alveolar ridge
What is the clinical appearance of a congenital epulis?
Soft round exophytic swelling
In which gender a congenital epulis err common amongst?
Females
80% seen in females
What is inside congenital epulis?
Granular cells which are covered by epithelium
How do you manage congenital epulis?
Benign
Excise
When does a melanocytic tumour develop??
This develops withing the first few mths of life.
60% are found in those less than 6 months
Where are the majority of the MNT?
70% anterior maxilla
What is the composition of a MNE?
Epithelial cells containing melanin with a fibrous stroma
Neoplasm of neuroblsstic pigmented epithelial cells of neural crest origin
T/F MNE are rapidly growing?
T
How do you manage MNT?
Excision
What is partial ankyloglossa?
Lingual frenum has a short attachment to the FOM
May be seen in up newborn but may resolve with tongue use
Which infective lesions are there?
Infective
Bacterial: odontogenicninfection
Fungal: thrush
Viral: primary herpetic gingivostomatitis, hero angina, HFM, VZV,
What causes thrush?
Candida
What is the clinical appearance of thrush?
White plaques on labial,buccal and gingival mucosa and tongue
What happens when the white plaques are removed?
Raw, bleeding mucosa
How does an acute odontogenicn infection present?
Pyrexia
Red swollen face
Anxious child
How would you manage an acute odontogenic infection?
Antibiotics are indicted for oyredia and spreading infection
The cause of infection does also need to be eliminated
