Advanced Dental Pathologies Quiz

Periapical Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia is a benign lesion that often appears in the anterior mandible and is usually asymptomatic. It can be mistaken for periapical disease in early stages.

Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia is a benign condition that is usually diagnosed incidentally during routine dental radiographs. It is typically asymptomatic and presents as multiple lesions in the maxilla and mandible.

Ankyloglossia specifically refers to the condition of being 'tongue-tied' due to the extensive adhesion of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing, Bruxism is the grinding of teeth, and Hemoptysis is the medical term for coughing up blood.

Dentigerous/follicular cysts specifically form around the crown of an unerupted or developing tooth, not in the root of an erupted tooth or in the bone surrounding the root. Additionally, they do not originate from the tissues that give rise to the tooth during development.

An eruption cyst is a type of cyst found in the soft tissue around the crown of an erupting tooth, not inside the tooth, in the jawbone, or on the root of a fully formed tooth.

A primordial cyst is a specific type of cyst that forms in place of a tooth, usually the third molar, and is typically asymptomatic. It is important to differentiate it from other oral conditions such as infections, tumors, or developmental issues.

A median palatine cyst is a specific type of cyst that presents as a radiolucency in the midline of the hard palate without causing any symptoms. It is important to differentiate it from other conditions that may present with similar symptoms but have distinct characteristics.

Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is a specific type of cyst found in the mandibular third molar region. It is not related to gum disease, dental fillings, or bacterial infections causing tooth decay. It is commonly associated with Gorlin syndrome.

A Globulomaxillary Cyst is a specific type of cyst related to the teeth and jaw, not in areas like the nasal cavity, gastrointestinal tract, or liver, making the incorrect answers invalid for the given question.

Hypodontia refers to the lack of one or more teeth, which can impact either baby teeth or permanent teeth. It is not related to irregular growth patterns, excessive teeth growth, or abnormal hardening of tooth enamel.

Supernumerary teeth refer to the presence of extra teeth in the dental arches, which are additional to the normal set of teeth.

Mesiodens are extra teeth that develop between the two upper front teeth, not in the lower jaw or near molars. It is not related to tooth decay or teeth alignment procedures.

A distomolar is a specific type of supernumerary teeth located distal to the third molar, commonly found as an extra tooth in the mouth.

Talon cusp is an accessory cusp found on specific permanent incisors, not related to decay, dental instruments, or spacing between teeth.

Taurodontism is a condition where the teeth have elongated, large pulp chambers and short roots, which can lead to difficulties in dental treatment and function.

Fluorosis is a condition caused by excessive fluoride intake during tooth development, leading to enamel hypoplasia and mottled discoloration of teeth.

Hutchinson Incisors refer to a specific dental abnormality associated with congenital syphilis, resulting in characteristic screwdriver-shaped incisors.

Mandibular tori refers to the extra bone growth on the inner side of the mandible, specifically around the premolar region. It is a benign condition and not related to respiratory disorders, dental decay, or genetic mutations.
