traumatic injuries to teeth
physiologic process of wearing away the tooth structure during toot to tooth contact or mastication
attrition
local, painful, benign condition of the salivary glands characterized by moderately painful swelling followed by ulceration in the affected area
necrotizing sialometaplasia
resembles pyogenic granuloma
maxillary anterior gingiva
bleed easily, remain relatively limited in size
localized juvenile spongiotic gingivitis
mass of granulation tissue located at the mucosal opening of a fistulous tract
parulis
pathologic wearing away of tooth structure from a repetitive mechanical habit
abrasion
lesion that forms when a salivary gland duct severed or ruptures and the secretion spills into the adjacent connective tissue
can fluctuate in size
mucocele
broad based persistent exophytic lesion composed of dense scar-like connective tissue after trauma
removed by surgical excision
irritational fibroma
localized mass of chronically inflamed granulation tissue that forms the opening of the pupal canal tooth may appear slightly extruded from the socket
periapical granuloma
wedge shaped defect at the cervical area of teeth
abfraction
reactive lesion caused by injury to a peripheral nerve, appearing as a smooth nonulcerated nodule
traumatic neuroma
overgrowth of tissue caused by an ill-fitting full or partial denture
epulis fissuratum
true cyst located at the apex of the root of a nonvital tooth
radicular cyst
irreversible loss of tooth structure resulting from chemical action without bacterial involvement
Appears smooth and polished
Below 5.5 pH
erosion
benign lesion on the hard palate most specifically associated with heavy, long term pipe and cigar smoking and is caused by the effect of heat on the palatal mucosa
raised red dots seen on the ducts of minor salivary glands on the palatal surface
nicotine stomatitis
cobblestone appearance of palatal mucosa caused by a form of denture induced hyperplasia
papillary hyperplasia of the palate
postoperative complication - blood clot is lost before healing has taken place
alveolar osteitis (dry socket)
intrinsic erosion caused by gastric acid introduced to the oral cavity
perimolysis
chronic rubbing or friction against an oral mucosal surface which may result in hyperkeratosis
frictional keratosis
chronically inflamed dental pulp tissue that occurs in teeth with large open carious lesions
red/pink nodule of tissue that fills the entire cavity
chronic hyperplastic pulpitis
tooth is removed and part or all of a radicular cyst is left behind
residual cyst
