    A dentigerous cyst is a proliferation of the enamel organ remant or reduced enamel epithelium.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A dentigerous cyst is indeed a proliferation of the enamel organ remnant or reduced enamel epithelium. This cyst forms around the crown of an unerupted tooth and is the most common type of developmental cyst associated with impacted teeth. It occurs when the enamel organ or reduced enamel epithelium continues to grow after the crown of the tooth is fully formed. This growth can lead to the formation of a fluid-filled sac around the tooth, causing potential complications if left untreated.

    Bifid ribs show up on a chest x-ray on a patient with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Bifid ribs refer to a condition where the ribs are split into two branches at their anterior ends. This abnormality can be seen on a chest x-ray of a patient with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma (NBCC). NBCC is a genetic disorder that causes the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas on the skin. Bifid ribs are one of the physical features associated with NBCC, along with other skeletal abnormalities. Therefore, it is true that bifid ribs can be observed on a chest x-ray of a patient with NBCC.

    In a calcifying odontogenic cyst, Calcifications show up as salt and pepper radiolucencies from ghost cells on an xray.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Calcifying odontogenic cysts are benign cystic lesions that can occur in the jawbones. These cysts are characterized by the presence of ghost cells, which are degenerated epithelial cells that have undergone calcification. On an x-ray, these calcifications appear as salt and pepper radiolucencies, meaning that they show up as scattered dark and light spots. Therefore, the statement that calcifications in a calcifying odontogenic cyst show up as salt and pepper radiolucencies from ghost cells on an x-ray is true.

    A traumatic bone cyst shows interradicular scalloping between roots.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A traumatic bone cyst is a benign bone lesion that typically occurs in the mandible or maxilla. It is characterized by a cystic cavity filled with serous or hemorrhagic fluid. One of the radiographic features of a traumatic bone cyst is interradicular scalloping, which refers to the concave depressions or scallops seen between the roots of the affected teeth. This is due to the expansion of the cystic cavity and the resorption of the surrounding bone. Therefore, the statement that a traumatic bone cyst shows interradicular scalloping between roots is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

    The thyrglossal tract cyst is the most common development cyst of the neck.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The thyroglossal tract cyst is indeed the most common developmental cyst of the neck. This cyst forms when remnants of the thyroglossal duct, which is a structure that connects the thyroid gland to the tongue during fetal development, fail to fully disappear. These cysts typically present as painless, midline neck masses that move with swallowing or protrusion of the tongue. They are most commonly found in children and young adults. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the cyst and any associated thyroglossal duct remnants to prevent recurrence.

    Abnormal healing following a tooth extraction may be responsible for a focalosteoporotic bone marrow defect.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Abnormal healing following a tooth extraction can lead to a focal osteoporotic bone marrow defect. This means that the area where the tooth was extracted may experience abnormal bone healing, resulting in a weakened bone structure. This can lead to a localized osteoporotic condition in the bone marrow, causing a focal osteoporotic bone marrow defect. Therefore, the statement "Abnormal healing following a tooth extraction may be responsible for a focal osteoporotic bone marrow defect" is true.

    An aneurysmal bone cyst occurs more commonly on the mandible and bruit is not heard on auscultation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign bone tumor that commonly occurs on the mandible. It is characterized by a blood-filled cystic lesion that can cause pain and swelling. Auscultation refers to the act of listening to internal sounds of the body using a stethoscope, and bruit refers to an abnormal sound heard during auscultation. In the case of an aneurysmal bone cyst, bruit is not typically heard on auscultation. Therefore, the statement "An aneurysmal bone cyst occurs more commonly on the mandible and bruit is not heard on auscultation" is true.

    A periapical cyst can expand with osteoclastic bone resorption and is mostly located int he anterior maxilla.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A periapical cyst is a type of cyst that forms at the apex of a tooth due to inflammation or infection. It can cause bone resorption, which means that it can cause the bone surrounding it to be broken down by osteoclasts, a type of bone cell. This can lead to the expansion of the cyst. Periapical cysts are commonly found in the anterior maxilla, which refers to the front part of the upper jaw. Therefore, the statement that a periapical cyst can expand with osteoclastic bone resorption and is mostly located in the anterior maxilla is true.
