Radiopaque lesions
-
Cementoblastoma
-
-
Characteristics: when viewed radio graphically the calcified mass has a radio Lucent halo around the outer perimeter which is the periodontal ligament space
Dental implications: the patient may present to the dental practitioner with only symptoms of pain. Therefore the clinician will be required to categorize the characteristics of the lesion involved, including the stage of development, the vitality of the tooth and the factors that would indicate the lesion is a cementoblastoma
Treatment and prognosis: the usual protocol is removal of the tooth because of the unlimited growth potential related to the attached calcified mass
Ondontoma
Etiology: mixed tumors comprised of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells. They are developmental abnormalities
-
Characteristics: the complex odontoma and the compound odontoma May be found on a radiograph during a dental examination however further histology test are needed to differentiate the complex tumor from the compound tumor
Dental implications: this may be seen in Gardner syndrome this tumor may impinge on teeth, causing failure to irrupt and May Also grow in size causing facial asymmetry
Treatment and prognosis: excision is the treatment of choice the prognosis is excellent without incidence of reoccurrence
Osteoma
Etiology: unknown but trauma infections and developmental defects have been suggested as possible causes
-
Characteristics: osteomas usually exhibit certain characteristics such as sharply defined radio pay structure with clot calcifications that resemble tooth like structures
Dental implications: the dental implications make differentiation of an osteoma especially important in the early diagnosis of Gardner syndrome. The presence of osteomas and ondontomas May indicate Gardner syndrome and thus the need for further tests
Treatment and prognosis: observation is the protocol for very small osteomas with careful monitoring in some cases in surgery for the larger more extensive lesions the prognosis is excellent with the Osteoma is removed
Osteopetrosis
Etiology: also known as marble bone disease it’s a congenital sclerosing disease of bone characterized by osteoclastic dysfunction
Method of transmission: Osteopetrosis Has a hereditary component that is expressed in an autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant disorder
Characteristics: radiographs show increased bone density with the amorpheus aspect Mero space encroachment and malformation of teeth
Dental implications: the relevance to the clinician of Osteopetrosis is great because approximately 10% of patients report osteomyelitis in conjunction with osteopetosis. Osteomyelitis may be a common location into distraction or trauma Alton delayed tooth irruption is a clinical manifestation in children
Treatment and prognosis: antibiotics are prescribed when needed as in the case of osteomyelitis with incision and drainage the infantile form has a poor prognosis with most dying from anemia or infection the adult form has a better prognosis
