Pathology Flashcards
what is mostly seen in patients with true generalized microdontia
-a systemic disorder or syndrome, like pitutry dwarfism, oro-faciodigital syndrome or oculo-mandibular -facial syndrome
-or patients who have gone chemotherapy that altered the formation of the developing dentition
microdontia is more common in?
females, with overall incidence of 1.5 to 2%
most affected tooth by hypodontia?
upper lateral -peg shaped
histology of microdontia
teeth are normal, however enamel and dentinal layers are not as robust as normal.
differential diagnosis of microdontia
-pituitary dwarfism
-hypothyroidism
-defects in growth hormones’
treatment of microdontia
restorative options to improve aesthetic
complications associated with microdontia?
function and esthetic challenges
but ususally, the underlying syndrome is the reason for concern
generalized macrodontia is associated with syndromes, name them
1-insulin-resistant diabetes
2-otodental syndrome
3-hypophyseal gigantism
macrodontia is more common in? and at which age?
it has no sex predilection
-age 8 to 13
cause of macrodontia - hostologically>?
over expression of dental developmental structures, resulting in hyperactivity of the tissue produced during tooth development
histophatology of macrodontia?
normal teeth, but with thicker layers of enamel and dentin
generalized cases of macrodontia are associated with?
underlying syndrome, or systemic conditions
what is molarization?
macrodontia in premolar
differential diagnosis of macrodontia
-gemination
-fusion
-facial hemihypertrophy
most affected tooth in macrodontia?
maxillary central incisror
complications or difficulties in macrodontia lies in
1-during extraction
2-moving the teeth in ortho ttt
3-it also may lead to crowding
4-aesthetic concern
Taurodontism is attributed to?
failure of sufficient invagination of the epithelial root sheath during tooth development, which result in misplaced dentin deposition
syndromes associated with taurodontism?
1-amelogenesis imperfecta
2-klinfelter syndrome
3-down sundrome
taurodontism is m ore common in?
male with less that 1%, mostly seen in eskimos and native americans
taurodontism results from one of three suggested pathologic processes?
1- delay of calcification of the pulp chamber
2-deficiency of odontoblasts with a resultant alteration in hertwig’s epithelial root sheath
3-or as a result of disrupted developmental homeostasis
histology of taurdontissm?
normal tooth with abnormally large pulp chamber
taurdontissm is a challenge to every specialty except? and why?
periodontics, because the root furcation is located more apically it reduced the frequency of periodontally driven furcation involvment.
complication of taurdontissm?
extraction due to inability of finding a furcation grip
treatment of fusion?
patients are prone to restorative, periodontal and, endodontic, and surgical complications so patients must be encouraged to keep ideal oral hygine to prevent complications
location of dilaceration depending on the type on tooth
anterior tooth- apical third
first molar- middle third
third molar-coronal third
complication of dilaceration
pulp necrosis and periapical inflammation may be common findings, because the bent portion acts as a cause for bacterial entry
challenges of dilcaeration
for surgery, endo, and ortho
ulceration in the oral cavity are caused by a spectrum of etiologic factors including
-trauma
-infection
-immunte disregulation
-neoplasm
clinical features of traumatic ulcer?
-mostly single
-paingul
-smooth red or whitish yellow surface
-thin erythematous halo
-soft on palpation
-heals spontanously or after remocal of cause within 6-10 days
most affected sites for traumatic ulcer
tongue, lip, buccal mucosa
cause of acute bacterial sialadenitis?
secondary to decreased salivary secretions, various reasons are attributed
there is a higher risk of sialolith in the submandibular duct causing secondary suppurative sialadenitis
clinical features of acute bacterial sialadenitis?
1-sudden onset of pain and swelling, especially around meal time
2-generalized malaise, fever, body ache and sometimes dehydration
3-diffuse inflammatory swelling, induraion, erythema, edema, and extreme tenderness over the affected gland
4-tense, glossy, and erythematous skin
pathologic sign of parotid swelling?
raised ear lobule
systemic sepsis occurs more with which salivary gland?
parotid
why are parotid gland swelling not fluctuant?
due to the fixity of overlying fascia, that’s why with pressure it become very painful because the fascia is nonyielding, and this pressure lead to ischemic nercosis of the gland, and the abscess may burst in the external auditory canal
sialography is contraindicated in cases of?
acute infection and sialoliths
treatment of acute bacterial sialadenitis?
-hydration
-antibiotic
-if swelling doesn’t subside with medications in 2 days or shows an increase then incision and drainage is indicated
chronic bacterial sialadenitis is more common in?
parotid gland
managemnt of chronic bacterial sialadenitis ?
-short term corticosteroid
-followed by the use of sialogougues to increase salivation and flush debris
chronic recurrent parotitis if left untreated may lead to ?
benign lymphoepithelial lesions which can progress to lymphoproliferative disorders like non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, carcinoma, or psudolymphoma
sialolithiasia or salivary calculi are most commonly seen in?
submandibular gland and duct
which x-ray or film is useful for detecting sublingual and submandibular gland or duct stones in the floor of the mouth?
mandibular occlusal film
which radiograph shows parotid stones?
panormaic
which radiograph shows submandibular stones?
lateral radiograph
sialography if a techinique in which the salivary gland is cannulated with a catheter, and a contrast medium is injected, what are the types of these medium?
both contain high concentration of iodine 25%-40%
1-water-soluble contrast
2-oil-based contrast
repeated inflammatory or infections to irregular narrowing and stricture of the duct caused by reparative fibrosis giving a very characteristic appearance
sausage pattern
most common and rarest location for stones in salivary gland?
most common - submandibular followed with parotid
rarest-sublingual
signs and symptoms of salivary gland stones 9ialolithis)
1-swelling that is exaggerated when eating
2-tenderness
3-repeated inflammatory reaction
4-pus can be observe
5-secondary infection
management of salivary gland stone?
surgical if can’t be removed trans-orally
