Q
Acantholysis, resulting from desmosome
weakening by autoantibodies directed against
the protein desmoglein, is the disease
mechanism attributed to which of the following?
A. Epidermolysis bullosa
B. Mucous membrane pemphigoid
C. Pemphigus vulgaris
D. Herpes simplex infections
E. Herpangina
A

C. In pemphigus vulgaris, autoantibodies attach to
antigens (desmoglein) found in desmosomes
that keep keratinocytes linked to each other.

Cells eventually separate from each other (acan-
tholysis), resulting in short-lived intraepithelial

vesicles/bullae.

hard palate that were preceded by tiny blisters.
Her lesions typically heal in about 2 weeks and
reappear during stressful times. She has _____.

B. Recurrent primary herpes
C. Recurrent secondary herpes
D. Erythema multiforme
E. Discoid lupus

A

C. Recurrent intraoral herpes simplex infections
occur only in the hard palate and hard gingiva,

with the exception of AIDS patients. Blister (vesi-

capsulated lesion that has significant recurrence

potential. The other lesions listed are malignan-
cies and require more than simple excision to

Q
  1. A 21-year-old woman went to her dentist because
    of facial asymmetry. This had occurred
    gradually over a period of 3 years. The patient
    had no symptoms. A diffusely opaque lesion was
    found in her right maxilla. All lab tests (CBC,

Two cystic radiolucencies in the mandible of a

16-year-old boy were lined by thin, parake-
ratinized epithelium showing palisading of

basal cells. All teeth were vital and the patient
had no symptoms. This patient most likely has
which of the following?
A. Odontogenic keratocysts

A. The key to this question is the description of the
cystic lining of thin, parakeratinized epithelium

with basal cell palisading—typical of odonto-
genic keratocyst. Tooth vitality, lack of symp-
toms, and more than one lesion are also

supportive.

A 12-year-old patient presents with premature
loss of primary teeth. On radiographic exam, a
sharply marginated lucency is seen in the area

of tooth loss. Biopsy shows a round cell infil-
trate with numerous eosinophils. This would

suggest which of the following?
A. Cherubism
B. Gardner’s syndrome
C. Paget’s disease
D. Fibrous dysplasia
E. Langerhans cell disease
A

E. Premature tooth loss is seen in several conditions,
especially malignancies and Langerhans cell disease because of cellular invasion of the peri-
odontal ligament. Sharply marginated bone lesions

are characteristic of Langerhans cell disease (and
Paget’s disease of the elderly). The eosinophils in a
round cell infiltrate suggest Langerhans cell
disease (the round cells would be Langerhans
cells).

lesions that occur in the nasopalatine canal. The
associated lucency is often heart-shaped because

A penny is placed on an exposed film (after
removing the film from its cover) for 2 minutes and
then the film is processed. If the processed film
shows a lighter area on the film corresponding to
the penny, then the safelighting is too bright and is
fogging the film.

blurring at edge of structure on radiograph

The area on the film that represents the image of a tooth is the umbra, or complete shadow.
- The area around the umbra is called the penumbra or partial shadow. It’s the zone of unsharpness along the edge of the image; the larger
it is, the less sharp the image will be.
