Radio-opaque lesions Flashcards
Torus palatinus is a?
hyperplasis
Torus palatinus - describe
palatal torus / bony protuberance at the midline of the palate
Torus palatinus radiographic features
location, periphery and shape, internal structure?
Located - hard palate
periphery and shape – well defined, convex or lobulated
internal structure - homogeneously and radio-opaque
Torus mandibularis is?
a hyperplasia
describe Torus mandibularis
mandibular tori - bony protberance on the lingual aspect of the mandible close to PM
Torus mandibularis radiographic features?
location, periphery and shape, internal structure?
lingual and bilateral
periphery and shape - sharply demarcated
internal – homogenously radio-opaque
hyperostosis is?
other hyperostosis
- small regions of osseous hyperplasia
- most commonly on the buccal surface of the maxilla
is hyperostosis a pathology
no – just excessbone within that region
so can be associated with the tori
hyperostosis radiographic features
location, periphery and shape, internal structure?
maxillary alveolar process - super-imposed on teeth
periphery- well defined or poorly
internal - radio-opaque and homogenous
dense bone island
enostosis, periapical idiopathic osteosclerosis
localized growth of compact bone
radiographic features of dense bone island
location, periphery and shape, internal structure effects?
location – madible > maxilla
PM-molar region
periphery - well defined and NO CAPSULE
internal structure - radio
may resorb roots but PROBABLY NOT
hypercementosis looks like?
excess cementum over roots but the PDL and lamina dura are in tact
odontoma disease mechanism
radiographically and histologically characterized by the production of mature enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp
can arise off cortical thickness
odontoma true benign neoplasm?
no - arise off of he
osteoma disease mechanism
may arise from cartilage or embryonic origin
- can go into sinus and onto the mandible
clinical features of osteoma
> 40 , asymetry caused by the swelling and painless, cortical type in men and cancellous in woman
