Rated A+
First cells involved in acute inflammation (start of gingivitis) Correct
Answer: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs)
Acute inflammation Correct Answer: vascular phase (mast cells,
basophils and platelets release histamine) and cellular phase (PMNs,
then eventually macrophages)
main cell components of chronic inflammation Correct Answer:
polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMLs)
pregnancy gingivitis has increased levels of Correct Answer: prevotella
intermedia
Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis Correct Answer: At least *3*
permanent teeth other than the *1st molar* and *incisors* are
involved
Localized aggressive periodontitis Correct Answer: -Disease that begins
at age 11 to 13 with strong familial tendency
- attachment loss at first molars and incisors
- AA bacteria
Hyperthyroidism Correct Answer: Graves disease - most common,
goiter and exopthalmos
,Plummer's disease - multiple adenomas of the thyroid gland,
exopthalmos is rare
Hypothyroidism Correct Answer: myxedema - puffiness of face and
eyelids, swelling of tongue and larynx
cretinism - in a child, severe mental retardation, large tongue, under-
developed mandible, over-developed maxilla, delayed teeth eruption
and deciduous teeth retained longer
hyperparathyroidism Correct Answer: common complaint of kidney
stones; osteoporosis and giant cell granulomas, usually caused by
adenoma but could occur if there is excessive loss of calcium in the
urine (parathyroid will increase in size to compensate)
Clinically - cystic bone lesions(Recklinghausen's)
Hypoparathyroidism Correct Answer: usually due to accidental excision
during thyroidectomy, congenital (DiGeorge's syndrome)
Pituitary diseases Correct Answer: excess (from adenoma) -
acromegaly (giganitism if before growth plates fuse)
too little - achondroplasia (dwarfism)
osteogenesis imperfecta Correct Answer: inherited condition when
bone formation is incomplete, leading to fragile, easily broken bones
blue sclera
bulbous crowns, obliterated pulps, narrow short roots
Hypophosphatasia Correct Answer: Rare metabolic bone disease
characterized by the deficiency of alkaline phosphatase
Paget's disease Correct Answer: a bone disease of unknown cause
characterized by the excessive breakdown of bone tissue, followed by
abnormal bone formation
, cotton wool appearance
osteomalacia Correct Answer: disease marked by softening of the bone
caused by vitamin D deficiency
Adult or children (Ricket's)
Cleidocranial dysplasia Correct Answer: Delayed tooth eruption
Retention of primary teeth
Supernumerary teeth
hypoplastic/aplastic clavicles
Pierre Robin Syndrome Correct Answer: Syndrome of oral facial
abnormalities, micrognathia (a small jaw) and glossoptosis (tongue
often blocks airway). Cleft palates are common. Difficulty maintaining
the airway frequently causes feeding problems.
cherubism Correct Answer: -benign
-radiolucencies in all 4 quadrants
-symmetrical, firm, jaw swellings of the jaw
-Males
-self limiting... will resolve later in life
-histologically the same as CGCG
-radiotherapy contraindicated
-possible early exfoliation of primary teeth and delayed eruption of
permanent
cystic fibrosis Correct Answer: often have stained teeth (due to
tetracycline use) and greatly reduced caries risk
multiple neuromas of the oral cavity, medullary carcinoma Correct
Answer: Men III syndrome
