another name for odontomes
dental hamartoma
what is an odontome
benign tumour linked to tooth development
non-neoplastic
contain calcified dental tissue
limited growth potential
3 types of invaginated odontome
dens en dente
dens invaginatus
gestant odontome
which teeth usually affected by invaginated odontomes
mandibular premolars
where are dens en dente most common
lateral incisors
what is dens en dente
infolding of outer surface of tooth into interior
enamel organ invaginated into papilla
cingulum pits
complication of dens en dente
can lead to early pulp death
what is an enamel pearl
enamel on root
usually furcation of maxillary molar
growth disturbance of HERS
complication of enamel pearl
plaque retentive factor
2 types of odontomes
complex - not tooth like
compound - tooth like
tissue present in complex odontome
enamel, dentine, cementum, connective tissue
tissue present in compound odontome
enamel, dentine, cementum, pulp
radiological features of odontome
variable sixe
ovoid shape
well defined, radiolucent
radio-opaque as made of calcified tissue
effects of odontomes
impeded eruption of permanent dentition
displace teeth
cortical expansion
ages when odontomes common
complex - 10-30
compound - 10-20
where are complex odontomes most likely found
mandibular molar
where are compound odontomes most likely found
anterior maxialla, inter-canine area
3 classifications of benign odontogenic tumours
epithelial
epithelial + mesenchymal
mesenchymal
what must be present for odontogenic tumour to contain hard tissue
ep + mesenchymal cells
most common odontogenic tumour?
ameloblastoma
most common site to find ameloblastoma
80% mandbile - angle most common
presentations of ameloblastoma
asymptomatic early stage
facial deformity due to expansion of bone can cause loss of teeth
pain rarely
radiological features of ameloblastoma
variable size
multilocular
well defined, corticated
radiolucent
effects of ameloblastoma
cortical expansion
tooth displacement
knife edge root resorption
can get perforation of bone + extension in soft tissues
