Study Notes
Radiographic Appearance of Asymptomatic Lesions
- Small, less than 1 cm
- Well-defined ovoid or elliptically shaped radiolucent area lateral to a tooth root
- Lesions arising during pregnancy may resolve spontaneously as hormonal levels return to normal
Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma
- Reactive lesion caused by local irritants arising from the periodontal ligament
- More common in females (2:1) between the ages of 40 and 60
- Located in the gingiva or alveolar mucosa, usually anterior to molars
Clinical Features of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma
- Translucent, bluish, round, smooth-surfaced bulge 1 to 3 cm in diameter
- Semi-firm, unilateral, fluctuant mass
- Increases in size between meals and decreases immediately after a meal
- Firm and movable on palpation
Sialolith
- A stone
Sjogren's Syndrome
- Autoimmune disease affecting salivary and tear glands, leading to dry mouth and dry eyes
- Two stages:
- Primary: characterized by keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) and xerostomia (dry mouth)
- Secondary: same as primary, plus another autoimmune disease (usually rheumatoid arthritis, which typically involves TMJ disorders)
- Common antibodies in Sjogren's syndrome patients:
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
- Rheumatoid factor (RF)
- Sjogren Syndrome A (SSA)
- Sjogren Syndrome B (SSB)
- ABCD mnemonic:
- ANA, SSA
- BSB
- Cells targeted (healthy)
- Dry eye and mouth
Complications of Sjogren's Syndrome
- Most common complications involve the eyes and mouth
Other Oral Manifestations
- Microdontia with malformed teeth
- Anomalies in eruption
- Congenitally missing teeth
- Delayed exfoliation and tooth development
