Week 1 - Developmental Disorders Flashcards
2 types of Congenital Disorders
- Inherited disorder
- Developmental disorder
Inherited Disorder
Caused by an abnormality in genetic make up
Developmental Disorder
Failure during process of cell division and differentiation
Ankyloglossia
- Soft Tissue Abnormality
- Extensive adhesion of tongue to the floor of the mouth
- Treatment = frenectomy
Commisural Lip Pits
- Soft Tissue Abnormality
- Epithelium lined ‘pits’ at the corner of the mouth
- Treatment: none, not harmful
Lingual Thyroid
- Soft Tissue Abnormality
- Small mass of thyroid tissue on the tongue.
- From thyroid not migrating properly during development
- Treatment: removal if obstructing
Cyst
- Abnormal fluid filled epithelium lined sac or cavity
- Treatment: usually removal
Developmental Cyst Properties
- can cause expansion of bone
- can be intraosseous or extraosseous
- appear as well circumscribed radiolucenies
- unilocular or multilocular
A cyst forming around the crown of an unerupted tooth such as the 3rd molar
Dentigerous Cyst (aka follicular cyst)
A cyst that creates a ‘balloon’ on the gingiva/soft tissue.
Eruption Cyst
A cyst that develops in place of a tooth, usually a 3rd molar
Primordial Cyst
A cyst seen in the mand 3rd molar region that can require curettage to treat as it has a high recurrence rate
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) (aka KOT)
A cyst that is lined by odontogenic epithelium and features ghost cells microscopically
Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC)
A cyst seen most often in the mand cuspid/premolar region on the lateral surface of the root. Most often in males.
Intraosseous: Lateral Periodontal Cyst
Extraosseous: Gingival Cyst (seen clinically)
Multilocular: Botryoid Odontogenic cyst
Anodontia
Developmental lack of ALL teeth
