Exam 1 Dixon

area distinguished by color differentiation from adjacent tissue; flat (freckles).

small circumscribed lesion usually < 1cm in diameter elevated above surface of normal tissue

circumscribed elevated lesion > 5mm in diameter with serous fluid, looks like a blister

small elevated lesions < 1cm in diameter containing serous fluid

various sized round elevations containing pus

base of a lesion that is flat or broad instead of stem-like

attached by a stem-like or stalk base (mushroom).

segment or lobe that is a part of the whole

feeling of area with fingers. [soft, firm, semifirm, fluid filled

shortened or blunted and irregularly shaped.

paleness of skin or mucosa

cleft or groove showing prominent depth

wrinkled (tin roof)

resembles small, nipple-shaped projections or elevations found in clusters.

one compartment or unit that is well defined

lesion extending beyond the confines of one distinct area. Many lobes.“soap bubbles”

borders are specifically defined and can clearly see the exact
margins and extent.

ill defined or spread out.

(RL) lesion extending between roots (traumatic bone cyst).

palpable solid lesion up to 1cm found in soft tissue
- above, level, or beneath skin

red ( erythematous) , white, pink

mm or cm

means a tumor of whatever the tissue is of the prefix

clinical appearance within soft tissue

soft tissue consistency

surface texture

-appearance of lesion
- can establish based upon color, shape, location, and history

radiographic examples:

Amelogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta can be determined this way?

occurs in black women, 60's, asymptomatic, teth are vital and usually the anteriors are affected?

elevated serum alkaline phosphatase level?

-use of biopsy specimen
-MAIN component of definitive dx
-histiologic conformation of clinical dx

[surgical dx example]
Rediolucency scalloping around roots
-lesion opened surgically – empty void of bone (fills in)

[surgical dx example]
-developmental anomaly – bilateral
-well – circumscribed
- entrapped salivary gland tissue

[surgical dx example]
aspiration of lesion

[Therapeutic dx]
-B-complex deficiency
most commonly a fungal
-Nystatin – candidiasis

[Therapeutic dx]
acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis?
-clinically distintive- raunchy/nasty
-responds to H2 O2
-sometines responts to ABC therapy-tetracycline

-Use of above procedures to determine FINAL diagnosis
- may use all parts or specific parts
-case study

Clusters of ectopic sebaceous glands
lips and buccal mucosa

palatal tori or maxillary
occur more commonly in women

located on lingual aspect of the mandible
usually bilateral

pigment that gives color to skin, eyes, hair, mucosa, and ging

this variant is more common in Afro-Americans

-sessile nodule on gingival margin of the lingual aspect of mand.
- canines

-prominent veins located on ventral/lateral surfaces of tongue
-older individuals

-“white line” on buccal mucosa along occlusal plane
-bilateral usually
-prominent with bruxism or clenching

generalized opalescence of buccal mucosa (grayish-white)
most commonly in Afro-Americans
disappears when mucosa is stretched

thyroid tissue that has become entrapped in the tissues of the tongue
common in females –hormonal
located as a mass in midline of dorsal of tongue in the area of the foramen caecum

unknown cause
think its associated with vitamin deficiency or chronic trauma
deep grooves in dorsal of tongue
debris collects – brush tongue

flat or slightly raised oval or rectangular erythematous area in the midline of dorsal surface of tongue
devoid of filiform papillae
no specific tx
can resolve on its own

diffuse areas of desquamation of filiform papillae
* erythematous patches with well defined border of white or yellow
“Benign Migratory Glossits”
no treatment

filiform papillae become elongted and appear white, yellow, black, or brown.
Causes: tobacco, chemical rinse (h2o2), alcohol, some foods.

short duration, arises quickly

within bone

movement of WBC's to area of injury

long duration, perists for a long time

passage of WBC’s through endothelial wall of small blood vessels

redness

inflammatory fluid; serum proteins & leukocytes (pus)

of body temperature higher than 98.6 degrees F°

excess of blood in a part of the body

abnormal multiplication or increase in the number of normal cells

enlargement of tissue or organ due to an increase in the size of the cell, not the number

affects body as a whole

temporary increase in # of WBC’s circulating in the blood

confined or limited to a part

enlargement or swelling of a lymph node

occurs in the early stage of inflammation; WBC’s occupy the periphery of a blood vessel and adhere to endothelial cells lining the blood vessel

pathologic death of cells or portions of tissue

the adherence of WBC’s to the endothelial cells lining an injured blood vessel

located away from the center

ingestion and digestion of a foreign substance by cells (macrophages)

containing or forming pus

restoration of damaged or diseased tissue

having a fluid or watery consistency-relates to serum

localized swelling of tissue due to edema, accompanied by severe itching
