Patho Buccal: Intra Cours 1: Intro Prendre en considération les dx dif Ex. Ulcère solitaire could also be ulcère traumatique, aphteux ou carcinome épidermoïde. Éléments à ressortir pendant l’anamnèse : P, Q, R, S, T P : palliatif – provocateur. What causes, worsens or eases pain. Qu’est ce qui provoque la douleur? Q: qualité. Describe pain. R: region ou site. What region the pain touches. Dans quelle region resentez vous la douleur, ou plus précisement, près de quelle dent ? S: sévérité. Intensity of pain. Quelle est l’intensité de votre douleur dans un échelle de 1 à 10, si 1 est une douleur tolérable et qui ne vous dérange pas et 10, une douleur qui vous empêche de dormir la nuit et intolérable ? T: temps. Chronological description of pain. La douleur varie-elle durant la journée? Si oui, expliquez quelle moment (eg. Nuit) vous observez cette variation. A proper clinical exam must consist of: Inspection: Sound produced by a tissue or organ. Identify noises from articulations (craquement, crépitement). Palpation: Touch. Texture of tissues. Can help with DX. Olfaction: Smell. Identifies certain DX (periodontal disease, GUN, non-controlled diabetes, maligne buccal tumor). Percussion: Auscultation: LEARN MINI-ATLAS! EXAM document! You should also read “Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology” by Neville, 5th version. You should also know details of last year’s notes. He can ask us to describe a lesion. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, do a correlation between what is happening in the mouth and the pathologic report. Do this format: description, demographic, histology, differential DX, prognostic. Description of lesion example: nodule. Couleur rose pale. Sur intérieure de la muqueuse jugale. Cécile (base + large que top) ou pédiculée (top + large que base) Primary lesions: (9) Macule: plane, alteration of color (any color) Papule: slightly raised, NO liquid, variable size (< 5 mm) Plaque: slightly raised (like papule), size > 5 mm Nodule : raised surface, larger than papule, + profondeur (sub-cutanous or sub- muquous), masse tissulaire Tuméfaction: PATHOLOGICAL increase in volume (gonflement), NO palpable mass Vésicule: raised WITH LIQUID (serum, blood, plasma), caused by formation of cavités intra-épidermiques, dimension < 5 mm Bulle: raised WITH LIQUID (serum, blood, plasma), similar to vésicule but larger at its base and + deep, diameter > 5 mm Pustule: contains pus Kératose: white-colored lesion, caused by exaggerated deposition of keratin on epithelium surface Secondary lesions: (9) Érosion: superficial loss of tissue due to trauma, does NOT touch couche basale germinative, generally no scar (cicatrice) Ulcération: loss of continuity of surface epithelium, with or without scar Fissure: depression in tissue resulting in linear loss of continuity of epithelium Pseudo-membrane: reaction from secondary mucous to necrotic agent, seen often in surface of ulceration Escarre: necrosis of tissue by thermal, chemical or gangrère  Squames: accumulation of cellular fragments from couche cornée, may cover surface of erosion Desquamation: loss of superficial epithelium (détachement des squames) Croûtes: déssechement of exsudat (blood, plasma, pus) on surface of lesion Cicatrice : fibrous replacement tissue Quelques données démographiques: Âge: ▪ Gingivostomatite herpétique primaire: ENFANTS > adultes ▪ Herpes buccal récurent : ADULTES > enfants Sexe : ▪ Cancer buccal et leucoplasies : FEMMES > hommes ▪ Lichen plan : HOMMES > femmes Race : ▪ Dysplasie cémento-osseuse périapicale : NOIRS > blancs ▪ Maladie Paget et lupus érythémateux : BLANCS > noirs Sites : ▪ Cancer buccal : plancher et bord latéral > palais dur ▪ Leucoplasie chevelue : latéral > ailleurs ▪ Nodule sur joue : polype fibro-épithélial ▪ Nodule sur palais : tumeur glande salivaires mineurs Prévalence : ▪ Lichen plan > lupus érythémateux ▪ Leucoedème > noevus blanc spongieux Signes vs symptômes : ▪ Signes : something you can see, objective ▪ Symptôme : something the patient describes, subjective Cours 2: Maladies osseuses Ostéopétrose : 3 types, rare HEREDITARY metabolic disease Caracterized by bone densification; caused by defect in OSTEOCLASTE functioning or differentiation (bone does NOT resorb) Many genes identified (among some that code for RANK, RANK-L, OPG); causing disorder in the production of acids in “lacunes d’Howship” & inadequate molecular exchanges Histopathology: obliteration of medullar cavities by dense compact bone; we may either see unchanged/increase in osteoclasts or decrease. If unchanged or increased, absence of “lacunes d’Howship”. If decreased (almost absent), RANK & RANK-L anomaly. TX: bone marrow allograft (alogrèffe moelle osseuse) for “maligne infantile” only IF adequate genetic DX & absence of neurological effect ; symptomatic treatement for all other forms. Transfusions are done to treat for anemia, and osteomyelitis should be treated Pronostic: lethal for “infantile”; other forms have better outlook Ostéopétrose maligne infantile: ▪ DX during birth/childhood ▪ Description: lack of white and red blood cells, as well as platelets (plaquettes); obliteration of medullar cavities & replacement of bone marrow (moelle osseuse) by compact bone (os compact), sclerosis of cranial foramens (which can cause nervous compressions) ▪ Results in: anemia, increased risk of infections and bleeding; increased fragility & fractures + difficulty to visualize roots + decreased vascularization (mandibule –> very high risk  ostéomyélite); facial paralysis, blindness and deafness (paralysie facial, cécité et surdité) Ostéopétrose intermédiaire: ▪ Most symptoms shown around 10 yo, bone marrow stays fonctionnal (generally) ▪ Moderate anemia & extramedullary hematopoiesis (hématopoïèse extra-médullaire) Ostéopétrose adulte: ▪ 40% asymptomatic ▪ Description: cranial nerve compression, bone fractures, ostéomyélite mandibulaire ▪ Gene manifests itself on chromosome 1 Dysplasie cléido-crânienne : Gene RUNX2/Cbfa1 on 6p21 chromosome (6) The gene controls osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal cells during membranous ossification; & chondrocyte maturation during endochondral ossification RUNX2 seems to play a role in odontoblast differentiation, formation of enamel and proliferation of dental lamina Description: rare condition with NO predominance, autosomal dominant with complete penetrance, 40% cases have NO family history, normal intelligence Clinical symptoms: pt have clavicular, cephalic, and dental anomalies; hypoplasia of clavicula is typical and usually partial, but BILATERAL: 10% have complete aplasia; pt have small size and certain characteristics: large skull, hypertelorism, pronounced frontal bossing, widened and depressed base of the nose  Buccal anomalies: palatine vault is high, narrow and hollowed out (voûte palatin haute, étroite et creusée); high prevalence of palatin fissures, maxillary hypoplasia and relative mandibular prognathism Dental anomalies: extended retention of primary teeth, and delayed eruption of permanent teeth; MANY supernumerary teeth (dents surnuméraire) up to 50 teeth! Causes dentigerous cysts (kystes dentifère) TX: restore pt esthetic & function (but, in most cases asymptomatic). Extraction of primary teeth + Maladie de Paget: Nom alternative: ostéite déformante Description: INCREASED bone remodeling (cause hypertrophie et désorganisation os COMPLÈTE), deformities & microfractures causes pain, 2nd most COMMON metabolic bone disease (osteoporosis is #1) Démographie: England, West Europe, britannique émigrés, 60 yo and + (frequency INCREASES with age), slightly more common in MEN. Étiologie: unknown but related to ENVIRONNEMENTAL and GENETIC factors which cause osteoclast (& potentially osteoblast) function deregulation. 10-20% have POSITIVE family history, POLYOSTIQUE > monostique Sequestome 1 (SQSTM1): most common MUTATION, codes for p62 (activates NF-κB which INCREASES osteoclast activity), 20-50% of those with positive family HISTORY, 5- 20% in other cases, most SEVERE form & YOUNG age Osteoclast precursors have VERY high AFFINITY for factors that STIMULATES bone RESORPTION: 1,25(OH)2D3 + RANKL + interleukine-6 (IL-6) Pathologie: deregulation in FORMATION & bone RESORPTION process. o Phase lytique: bone is resorbed (by numerous large osteoclasts with many  o nuclei) + bone remodeling is VERY FAST o Phase mixte: resorption process accompanied by excessive bone deposition by osteoblasts. The bone formed is ANORMAL. The collagen is ANARCHIQUE. Bone vasculisation is INCREASED. o Phase sclérose: Bone deposition is PREDOMINANT. Bone is BAD quality and DISORGANIZEED. “Mosaique à l’os”. Bone is WEAK and vascularisation is REDUCED. Clinical Symptoms: o Os affectés (most to least): iliac bone, lumbar vertebrae, femur, tibia and skull (crâne = signe xpeau) o Atteinte mâchoires = 17% (more MAXILLARY), enlargement of the middle third of the face (“tete de lion”), o Asymptomatic in MORE than 50% of patients, results in INCREASE of alkaline phosphates o Progressive INCREASE of skull circumference (densification) –> OBLITERATION of cranial foramens and nervous compressions (causes deafness and blindness) o Main symptoms: severe pain and DEFORMATIONS of long bones! Cavité buccal: o Symmetric ENLARGEMENT of alveolar ridge, lowering of the palatine vault (voute palatin) o Enlargement of alveolar ridge causes progressive INADAPTATION of denture (protheses dentaires) & DIASTEMA formation RX: o Loss of DIFFERENTIATION between SPONGY bone and CORTICAL bone; bone HYPERTROPHIA, osteolysis, generalized HYPERCEMENTOSIS o Phase lytique (diminution density): OSTEOPOROSIS (osteoporose circonscrite) + radioclaire au crane  o Phase osteoblastique (augmentation density): CORTICO-MEDULLARY dedifferentiation + THICKENING outer skull; bone sclerosis « aspect de ouate de coton », generalized HYPERCEMENTOSIS and loss of lamina dura Laboratoire: o Bilan phosphocalcique NORMAL usually o Pyridinolines, Déoxypyridinolines and N-télopeptides (allows to measure remodelling) = biological markers Histopathologie o Areas of OSTEOLYSIS adjacent to bone APPOSITION o INCREASED osteoblasts, lamellar bone is ABNORMAL (large fibres of collagen, partly calcified and misoriented). REPLACES spongy bone of the epiphyses, the cortical bone and fills the medullary cavity. Osteoclasts ++ VOLUME and nuclei (50-100!) o Bone TRABECULAE have a MOSAIC appearance, and are demarcated by reversal lines (lignes basophiles inversées) o Active phases: bone marrow tissue (tissue medullaire) very VASCULARIZED (causes bleeding during extraction) o Advanced stages: acellular spherical masses FUSE to form large areas of sclerotic bone (causes osteomyelitis during extraction) TX: normalise biological markers, BIPHOSPHONATES (only if ACTIVE and risk of complications), adjustment or redo dentures, difficulty during extraction o Note: in severe cases, HIGH risk of osteomyelitis (ostéomyélite) during CHX Pronostic: o Low fatality o UNLIKELY risk of sarcoma: ▪ Osteosarcoma: 1%, mostly in long bones ▪ Fibrosarcoma: even lower risk ▪ Certain cases, large cell bone tumor may happen  ▪ Increase in vascularization during active phases MAY cause congestive HEART failure (neurological symptoms are also possible) Chérubisme: HERIDITARY disease, BILATERAL and symmetric Autosomal dominant, variable expressivity and HIGH penetrance Gene: SH3BP2 on chromosome 4 (4p16) Modifies osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity Touches MAXILARIES (rarely anything else) Clinical symptoms: o Starts during childhood between 2-5 yo, progresses until stabilizes at PUBERTY, appearance becomes almost normal at 30 yo o Causes maxillaries expansion (+++ common in MANDIBULE, tuberosities +++ in max) and certain aesthetic changes o Predilection site: ANGLE of mandibula and ascending RAMUS o BILATERAL and symmetric: bilateral non-painful swelling (tumefaction) that swells cheeks and stretches face (eyes downward) o “cherubin vers ciel”; speech, chewing and swallowing disorders Dental anomalies: o Agenesis of second and third MOLARS inf, absence or mvmt of primary & permanent, resorption or PREMATURE loss of primary and LATE eruption of permanent RX: o Radioclear, MULTILOCULAR, bilateral and symmetric implicating ANGLE of mandibule -> causes expansion, thinning and perforation of CORTICALES. o Advanced stages: GRANULAR aspect (“verre depoli”) o Teeth that are in lesioned sites may be impacted (incluse) or moved  Histologie : looks like granulome centrale à cellule géant (GCCG), but LESS dense stroma. Eosinophilic tissue MAY surround small blood vessels. Advanced lesions have + DENSE fibrous tissue, a LIMITED nbr of giant cells and newly formed bone trabeculae. TX : DO NOT TREAT with radiotherapy. CHX not RECOMMENDED (due to regression; only consider if very advanced). Extraction of included teeth, ortho and dentures are possible solutions. Hyperparathyroidie (HPT): Can be primary, secondary or tertiary. Primary: 85% caused by parathyroid ADENOMA. Hyperplasia or rare carcinoma of parathyroid gland cause 10%. Seen in syndromic cases, such as NEM-1/2. Caused by INCREASED serum PTH level + HYPERCALCAEMIA. Symptoms include: painful bones, renal stones, abdominal groans and psychic moans. Secondary: chronic renal failure is most COMMON cause. Vitamin D deficiency and PTH resistance are other possible causes. Decrease of phosphate excretion, hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcaemia. Stimulates secretion of PTH -> stimulates bone resorption AND increases serum CALCIUM level. Also reduces Vit D production -> reduces calcium absorption and leads to hypocalcaemia RX: o OSTEOPOROSIS. Loss of cortical definition surrounding max sinus and mand canal. Loss of lamina dura. “Verre depoli”. Brown tumors (large cell osteolytic lesion) are sometimes observed. Laboratoire: bilan sanguine of primary -> hypercalcaemia, hypophosphatemia, INCREASED serum PTH level, increased urinary phosphate  Histopathologie: REDUCTION of bone trabeculae count, INCREASED count of osteoclasts. Brown tumors ressembles GCCG, and is INDISTINGUISHABLE histologically; therefore, parathyroid gland function may be investigated. TX: o Primary hyperparathyroidism treated by CHX excision of adenoma or gland. o Secondary treated by organ transplant (restores calcitriol function and normalizes phosphate/calcium level). o Parathyroidectomy recommended if pt does NOT respond to TX Maladies osseuses d’origine diverses Ostéosclérose idiopathique: Region with dense bone, NOT associated with infection/dysplastic/neoplastic or systematic condition DX dif: ostéite condensante (has INFLAMMATORY process) Clinic: prevalence is 5%; 90% in posterior region of mandibula.
