- Verrucous Carcinoma that leads to…
- Invasive squamous cell carcinoma
- Lesions rarely regress dispite therapy
Define Dysplasia…
- Abnormal tissue development
- Rapid cell turn over
- Immature epithelial cells, lack of maturation
- Can be mild, moderate, or severe (thirds of epithelium)
What is Squamous Cell Carcinoma in situ…
- Dysplastic change involving the full-thickness of epithelium
- Latin (in site)
- Not extending beyond the focus or level of origin
- No invasion by definition
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma is most commonly found in these 2 locations…
- Tongue: posterior lateral most common
- Floor of mouth (midline near frenum) Most likely location intraorally (versus oropharynx) to demonstrate early metastasis to cervical lymph nodes. Leukoplakia in this area also has a higher chance of containing dysplasia/carcinoma
What is the vitality of teeth associated with buccal bifurcation cysts?
Vital
What is the tx for buccal bifurcation cyst
curettage, do not ext
What is the most common dev odontogenic cyst
dentigerous
What teeth are dent cysts most commonly associated with
impacted thirds and impacted canines
