Radiographic Descriptions
This disease can be described radiographically as a large diffuse radiopaque lesion with a “cotton wool” appearance located around the apices across the mandible.
What is Paget's disease?
Treatment is vitamin D.
What is Osteomalacia?
A benign osseous lesion presenting with multinucleated giant cells.
What is central giant cell granuloma?
Vital tooth; mandibular anterior apex; starts radiolucent, then becomes mixed radiolucent/radiopaque, then becomes more radiopaque over time; Common in African American women over 30 years of age
What is periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia?
One possible differential diagnosis for fibrous dysplasia.
What is ossifying fibroma or Paget’s disease?
Radiographs reveal a large well defined radiopaque lesion located at the apex of tooth #31 that is a VITAL and asymptomatic
What is idiopathic osteosclerosis?
Treatment for osteosarcoma.
What is chemotherapy; Wide surgical excision?
The process used for producing reproductive cells (sperm/egg)
What is meiosis?
Well-defined, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque lesions in multiple quadrants seen more commonly in African American women over 40.
What is florid cemento-osseous dysplasia?
One possible differential diagnosis for idiopathic osteosclerosis.
What is periapical cemento-oseous dysplasia, condensing osteitis?
This condition is characterized as a having a “ground glass” appearance that blends into surrounding bone with no distinct borders, and will displace teeth
What is fibrous dysplasia?
Treatment for fibrous dysplasia.
What is cosmetic re-contouring of the bone?
Histopathologic report containing disorganized fibrous connective tissue and calcifications of bone and cementum.
What are cemento-osseous dysplasias?
Cemento-osseous dysplasia seen more in the posterior mandible and in Caucasian women ages 30-50
What is focal cemento-osseous dysplasia?
A possible differential diagnosis for florid cemento-osseous dysplasia
What is Paget's disease, Periapical ossifying dysplasia, Chronic sclerosing ossifying myelitis?
Radiographic description of an osteosarcoma.
What is a large poorly defined mixed radiolucent/radiopaque lesion with a “sunburst pattern"?
These cemento-osseous dysplasia lesions are benign, asymptomatic, self-limiting and usually require no treatment.
What are periapical, focal, and florid cemento-osseous dysplasias?
Difference between epithelial and connective tissue dysplasia.
What is: epithelial dysplasia is pre-malignant and CT dysplasia is not pre-malignant, but rather a disordered growth?
3 types of benign osseous lesions that are developmental and commonly seen in patients; these typically require no treatment.
What is tori, exostosis, and enostosis?
Two possible differential diagnoses for osteosarcoma.
What is chondrosarcoma and lymphoma?
A Central Giant Cell Granuloma presents radiographically as
What is a well or ill-defined uni- or multilocular radiolucency that can displace teeth?
This disease has a lab test with increased levels of alkaline phosphatase. The treatment options for this disease include (hint: there's 3)
What is Asymptomatic: usually no Tx; Symptomatic: NSAIDs; Severe cases: bisphosphonates?
This disease shows a mosaic pattern of lamellar bone with prominent reversal lines caused by resorption, osteoblastic repair, and remineralization of the involved bone.
What is Paget’s disease?
These true benign fibro-osseous neoplasms/lesions are usually well-circumscribed and treated with enucleation, unlike fibrous dysplasia which blends into surrounding bone.
What are ossifying fibromas, cementifying fibromas, cemento-ossifying fibromas, and peripheral ossifying fibromas?
Two differential diagnoses for focal cemento-osseous dysplasia.
What is cementoblastoma, condensing osteitis, ossifying fibroma, periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia, periapical cyst, periapical granuloma?
