Infectious Diseases
This is a flap of soft tissue that covers the crown of a partially erupted tooth, most often a mandibular third molar. They are known to trap plaque, bacteria and food debris.
What is an operculum
These 2 tooth abnormalities arise from congenital syphilis.
What are Hutchinson incisors and mulberry molars
This syndrome is characterized by marked destruction of periodontal tissues of both dentitions with premature loss of teeth.
What is Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome
This term refers to a macular skin pigmentation that is the color of coffee with milk.
What is Cafe au lait
This systemic diseases oral manifestations include parotid gland enlargement, increased glucose in gingival crevicular fluid, slow wound healing, susceptibility to periodontal disease
What is Diabetes
This form of candidiasis is associated with the prolonged use or improper cleaning of a maxillary denture.
What is denture stomatitis
The result from the union of two normally separated adjacent tooth germs.
What is fusion
Characterized by progressive bilateral face swelling that appears at an early age, male dominant. The mandible will present with a "soap bubble" appearance in radiographs.
What is Cherubism
Characterized microscopically by cellular fibrous connective tissue admixed with irregularly shaped bone trabeculae or cementoid material.
What is a Benign Fibro-Osseous Lesion
A patient with this systemic disease may have to increase corticosteroid treatment if a stressful dental visit is necessary.
What is Cushing Syndrome (Hypercortisolism)
This is associated with kids younger than 6 years in age. It heals spontaneously within 1-2 weeks. They present with painful swollen gingiva with multiple tiny vesicles in and around the mouth.
What is Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis
This is caused by injury to sensitive ameloblasts during enamel formation.
What is Enamel Hypoplasia
This syndrome is a group of rare inherited connective tissue disorders caused by collagen defects. Characteristics include unusually loose and weak joints and skin hyperelasticity.
What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
A developmental disease that is characterized by the replacement of bone with abnormal fibrous connective tissue interspersed with varying amounts of calcified material. Diffuse radiopacity that can be described as "ground glass"
What is Fibrous Dysplasia
Deficiency in plasma and proteins resulting in severely prolonged clotting time. Inherited disorder of blood coagulation.
What is Hemophilia
This is associated with HIV. Patients experience pain, spontaneous gingival bleeding, interproximal necrosis and cratering. Most characteristically this results in extremely rapid bone loss.
What is Necrotizing Ulcerative Periodontitis (NUP)
Bull-like teeth are also termed...
What is Taurodontic
The 1st type of dentin dysplasia. This presents as teeth with normal crowns, abnormal roots and an autosomal dominant inherit pattern. Radiographs show a total lack or partial lack of pulp chambers and root canals, Color of teeth is normal.
What is Radicular Dentin Dysplasia
Also called osteitis deformans. Characterized by abnormal bone metabolism, including resorption repair and remineralization. Typically involves the skull. Enlargement of the infected bone is common. When maxilla or mandible is involved, spacing between the teeth becomes more prominent. Severe headaches, dizziness and deafness may occur when other bones of the skull are involved.
What is Paget Disease of Bone
The most common inherited disorder of red blood cells. Involves severe sickling of erythrocytes. Spontaneous pulpal necrosis and loss of trabeculation takes place, with the appearance of large, irregular marrow spaces.
What is Sickle Cell Anemia
This is an opportunistic neoplasm that occurs in patient with an HIV infection. Oral lesions appear as reddish-purple, flat or raised seen anywhere in the oral cavity.
What is Kaposi Sarcoma
This develops in place of a tooth and is most commonly found in place of the third molar or posterior to an erupted third molar.
What is a primordial cyst
This results in the presence of osteomas in the bones of the skull that can expand the bones and cause facial asymmetry. Odontomas may also occur in the mandible. Multiple colorectal polyps may become present and undergo malignant transformation.
What is Gardners Syndrome
Unilocular radiolucency found in the maxilla and mandible, involvement of the ramus is uncommon. Composed of well vascularized fibrous connective tissue containing many multinucleated giant cells.
This is used to treat cancer and affects rapidly dividing cells. It can cause the epithelium to become atrophic and ulcerated.
