True
|

Idiopathic Osteosclerosis
|
|
Benign tumors are tumors from the _____.
|
Odontogenic Apparatus
|
|
Benign Tumors are classified into 3 groups. Name them
|
Tumors of Odontogenic Epithelium
Tumors of Ectomesenchyme Mixed tumors (ectomesenchyme and epithelialium) |
|
Most commonly significant odontogenic tumor
|
Ameloblastoma
|
|
Ameloblastoma Characteristics:
-Originates in the ____. -More common in what gender? -More common in what ages? -Growth is fast/slow? -Bone becomes____. -Race? |
Originates from the remnants of the Dental Lamina
Gender: Men Age: 20-50 yrs Growth: Slow Bone becomes THIN!!! Race= Blacks |
|
Ameloblastoma Radiographically:
-What region generally? -Periphery? -Mutli or Unilocular? -Root Resorption? -Expansion and Displacement: YES |
Ameloblastomma Radiographically:
Region: Molar/Ramus Region Periphery: Well Defined, Corticated Multi AND Unilocular Root Resorption: YES -more so than other tumors Expansion and Displacement: YES |
|
Ameloblastomas with multi-locuals have been said to look like a ____for small locules and ___ for large locules.
|
Honeycomb= small locules
Soap Bubbles= large locules |
|
What is the differential dx of an Ameloblastoma?
If in a young pt and there is a radiolucency surrounding the crown of an unerupted tooth. The best differential dx would be a ____. A monolocular tumor that has involved the roots of a functioning tooth may resemble a ____. How do you rule out a residual cyst from an ameloblastoma: How do you rule out a lateral periodontal cyst from an ameloblastoma How do you differentiate between a Giant Cell Granuloma and an Ameloblastoma Differentiate between an odontogenic myoxoma and an ameloblastoma |
Young pt w/ radiolucency around the crown of unerupted tooth: Dentigerous Cyst
Monolocular tumor w/ involved roots: Radicular Cyst Rule out a Residual cyst by the age of the pt. Ameloblastomas occur in older pts Rule of Lateral PD cyst from ameloblastoma by: -Age (Lat PD cyst occurs in younger pts) -Region (L PD cyst occur in the incisor, canine, premolar area) GCG are usually anterior to the molars, MORE Granular and ill defined Odontogenic Myxoma are RARE and the septa is thinner than in a ameloblastomma |
|
Adematoid Odontogenic Tumor
Characteristics: -Gender? -Age -Slow or fast growing |
Gender: Female
Age= 5-50 year old Slow growing |
|

Location? Periphery? Radiodensity? Displacement, Expansion, Root Resorption? |
Location: Max Canines
Periphery: Well defined Radiodensity: 75% radiopaque// 25% radiolucent Displacement, Expansion and Root Resporption: YES |
|
What does CEOT stand for?
This tumor is AKA? |
CEOT
Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor AKA: Pindborg Tumor |
|
