Flashcards

Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia

A developmental dental condition where cementum (the substance covering tooth roots) grows abnormally.

Where does Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia occur?

It typically affects the front teeth in the lower jaw (mandible).

Who is more likely to have Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia?

This condition is more common in women.

When does Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia typically appear?

It usually appears between the ages of 40 and 50.

How does Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia look on X-rays?

Early on, X-rays show a blurry, dark area around the tooth root. Later, it becomes a dense white mass, and finally, a well-defined white area with a dark ring around it.

Study Notes

Periapical Cemantal Dysplasia

A non-neoplastic developmental condition affecting cementum.
Primarily affects the mandibular incisor region, often involving multiple teeth.
Impacted teeth remain clinically vital.
Predominantly affects females aged 40-50.

Radiographic Features

Early Lesion (Osteolytic Stage): Radiolucent (dark) area poorly defined, near tooth apices.
Later Lesion (Cementoblastic Stage): Radiopaque (light) masses appear on X-ray.
Mature Stage: Distinct radiopacity, surrounded by a radiolucent band, indicates extensive calcification.

Histological Characteristics

Combination of rounded cement-like structures ("cementicles") and woven bone.

Description

This quiz explores Periapical Cemental Dysplasia, a non-neoplastic condition that primarily impacts the mandibular incisor region. Learn about its radiographic features and histological characteristics. This condition predominantly affects middle-aged females and features distinct stages detectable through imaging.
