Oral Diagnosis, Pathology & Medicine Flashcards
When is a panorex indicated?

Permanent teeth takes 3 years for caries to progress from outer to inner enamel (but immature teeth can have quicker progression) so 18-36 months low risk adolescent 6-18 months high risk adult 24-36 months low risk adult
When do you take BWX in a low risk child?
12-24 mo

Bohn’s nodules – buccal and lingual ridge (lateral alveolar mucosa); away from midline, junction of hard and soft palate. Remnants of salivary gland epithelium
dental lamina cysts – crests of dental ridges
(most commonly seen bilaterally in first primary molar region), alveolar mucosa (aka gingival cyst)
*above three usually asymptomatic, 1-3 mm smooth white nodules filled with keratin. No tx required, disappear within
first 3 months of life.

Female (8-10:1)
aka granular cell tumor, Neumann’s tumor
rare benign tumor seen only in newborns
protuberant mass arising from gingival mucosa
-nontender, firm, pink/red polypoid mass with smooth surface
ANTERIOR MAXILLARY RIDGE

Natal and neonatal teeth occur at what frequency?
Very rare – varies between 1:1000 to 1:30,000 (incidence)
Handbook: 1:2000-3500
Natal teeth are present at birth T/F
T.
Neonatal teeth erupt within the first 30 days of life
3:1 natal to neonatal teeth
Most commonly affected are mandibular primary incisors
may be associated with systemic condition like Pfieffersyndrome or histiocytosis X , also chondroectodermal dysplasia (Ellis Van Creveld)
Child should be at least 10 days old to avoid bleeding complications/risk of hemorrhage
What % of natal / neonatal teeth are true primary teeth?
90%
What is an associated pathologic finding of natal / neonatal teeth?
Riga-Fede disease (ventral tongue trauma)
Tx: conservative (create round smooth incisal edges)
if conservative tx does not correct condition, ext is the tx of choice
Most common location for eruption cysts
Mandibular molar region
soft tissue cyst that results from separation of the dental follicle from the crown of an erupting tooth. Fluid accumulation occurs within this created follicular space. Color ranges from normal to blue-black or brown, depending on the amount of blood in the cystic fluid (note: blood secondary to trauma)
aka eruption hematomas, soft tissue extension of dentigerous cyst
no tx necessary, but may be opened surgically if cyst does not spontaneously rupture or if lesion becomes infected
A mucocele is caused by rupture of ________ which leads to leakage of _______ into the surrounding tissues that may later be surrounded by a fibrous capsule
Minor salivary glands
mucin
Mucoceles most common on the lower lip, usu lateral to midline
Caused most often by local mechanical trauma to the SG
May burst spontaneously (leaving shallow ulcers that heal w/I a few days) or require treatment to minimize risk of recurrence
What are AI types I, II, III, IV ?
What is the definition of amelogenesis imperfecta?
Developmental disturbance that interferes with normal enamel formation in the absence of a systemic disorder.In general, it affects all or nearly all of the teeth in both the primary and permanent dentitions.
(Other forms of enamel dysmineralization can exhibit pattern based on time of insult, like fluorosis – but fluorosis tends to spare premolars and second permanent molars). In contrast, AI will affect all teeth similarly and can have a familial history.
Hypomaturation-hypoplastic AI with taurodontism is associated with what syndrome?
