Surgical Management of Odontogenic Tumors Flashcards
what are the tumors of odontogenic epithelium
- ameloblastoma
- adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
what are the mixed odontogenic tumors
- compound odontoma
- complex odontoma
what are the tumors of odontogenic ectomesenchyme
- cementoblastoma
what are the benign, no recurrence potential odontogenic tumors
- adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
- cementoblastoma
- odontoma
what are the benign, aggressive tumors
- ameloblastoma (multicystic/solid)
what are the benign, some recurrence potential odontogenic tumors
- cystic ameloblastoma (unicystic)
what is included in the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors
- detailed history: pain, loose teeth, occlusion, swellings, paresthesia, dysthesia, delayed tooth eruption
- thorough clinical exam: inspection, palpation, percussion
- conventional radiographs: panorex, dental radiographs
- CT scan: for larger, aggressive lesions
- obtain tissue
what are the ways to obtain tissue and which lesions are they for
- aspiration: r/o vascular lesions, inflammatory
- incisional biopsy- larger lesions prior to definitive therapy
- excisional biopsy- smaller tumors
surgical management includes:
- surgical removal of the odontogenic tumor followed by appropriate method for reconstruction of the defect
the type of surgical approach that is going to be employed is mainly dependent on:
the type (biologic behavior) of the tumor and its size
the type of reconstruction is mainly decided based on:
the size and extent of the defect on both hard and soft tissue
what are the surgical treatment options for odontogenic tumors
- enucleation
- resection
what are the types of resection
- marginal (segmental) resection
- partial resection
- total resection
- composite resection
what is enucleation of odontogenic tumors
local removal of tumor by appropriate instrumentation in direct contact with the lesion: used for very benign types of lesions
what is surgical resection of odontogenic tumors and what is it also called
- removal of tumor by incising through uninvolved tissues around the tumor, thus delivering the tumor without direct contact during instrumentation
- AKA en bloc resection
what is marginal (segmental) resection
- resection of a tumor without disruption of the continuity of the bone
what is partial resection
- resection of a tumor by removing full thickness portion of the jaw
- can vary from small continuity to a hemimandibulectomy
- jaw continuity is disrupted
what is total resection
- resection of a tumor by removal of the involved bone
- hemi-maxillectomy and hemi-mandibulectomy
what is a composite resection and when is it used
- resection of tumor with bone, adjacent soft tissues and contiguous lymph node channels
- an ablative procedure
- most commonly used in malignant tumors
what is the rationale for surgical reconstruction of the jaws
- to restore the:
- form of the maxilla and mandible to maintain correct anatomical relation to the jaws and important for dental rehab such as endosseous implant placement
- function: for mastication and speech
- esthetics
what are the types of grafts used for reconstruction of the jaws
- free bone grafts (non vascularized): cortical bone grafts and cancellous bone grafts
- vascularized bone grafts: osteomyocutaneous- microvascular free flap
epitheial odontogenic tumors are composed of:
odontogenic epithelium without participation of odontogenic ectomesenchyme
