Study Notes
Micrognathia
- Congenital causes include Pierre Robin syndrome, Catel Manzke syndrome, and Cerebrocostomandibular syndrome
- Intrauterine acquired conditions include congenital syphilis
- Acquired developmental anomalies are defects that occur during intrauterine life due to some pathological environment condition and can be prenatal, neonatal, or postnatal
- Causes of acquired developmental anomalies include congenital syphilis (notched incisors and mulberry molars) and fluorides (enamel hypoplasia)
Facial Hemiatrophy & Hemihypertrophy
- Facial hemiatrophy is also known as Parry Romberg Syndrome, Progressive Facial Hemiatrophy, and Progressive hemifacial atrophy
- Facial hemihypertrophy is also known as Friedreich's Disease
- Facial hemihypertrophy is a significant unilateral enlargement of the face and represents hyperplasia of tissues rather than hypertrophy
- Syndromes associated with facial hemihypertrophy include Neurofibromatosis, Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome, and familial developmental anomalies
Double Lip
- Often congenital
- Usually affects lower lip more than upper lip
- Composed of a horizontal fold of mucosal tissue
Macroglossia
- Condition where the patient has an enlarged tongue
- True macroglossia and pseudomacroglossia are both observed
- Pseudomacroglossia is due to conditions that force the tongue to sit in an abnormal position, including habitual posturing of the tongue, enlarged tonsils/adenoids
- True macroglossia can be congenital or acquired
- Causes for congenital macroglossia include over development of the musculature, Down syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
Hairy Tongue
- Characterized by marked accumulation of keratin on filiform papillae of the dorsal surface resulting in a hair like appearance
- Histologic features include presence of fungal hyphae, loss of papillae, elongated rete ridges and lymphocytic infiltration
Lingual Thyroid Nodule
- Thyroid tissue located at the mid-posterior dorsum of the tongue
- Clinically presents as a 2-3 cm smooth sessile mass
- Appears during puberty or adolescence
- Histopathology reveals normal mature thyroid tissue with occasional colloid degeneration
Amelogenesis Imperfecta
- Also known as Hereditary enamel dysplasia, Hereditary brown enamel, and Hereditary brown opalescent tooth
- Group of conditions caused by defects in the genes encoding enamel matrix proteins
- Affects both dentition deciduous and permanent
- Types include hypoplastic (defective matrix deposition), hypocalcification (defective calcification), hypomaturation (defective maturation), and hypomaturation-hypoplastic with taurodontism
