Location
More common in the mandible.
Occurs five times more frequently in
edentulous regions than at the apices of vital
teeth.
Lesions may also occur in the interradicular
spaces.
|elationship to teeth.
The lesion can be limited to the tooth apex,
inter-radicular region, no apparent
connection to the teeth.
|adiologic features.
The lesion may vary from a few millimeters to
more than 2 cm in diameter.
The area of density is rounded or ovoid, may
be irregular.
The margins are irregular.
The lamina dura disappears within the
sclerotic mass.
The root outline and the periodontal ligament
space usually can be seen within the
radiopaque area.

Apex of nonvital mandibular first or second
molar.
The apex is almost always involved.
|adiologic features.
It is characterized as a homogeneous
radiopaque mass lacking a perilesional
radiolucent halo.
Π  
h |adiology
The radiologic features of hypercementosis
consist of an area of increased density
surrounding the root of a tooth.
The periodontal ligament space and lamina
dura usually are present and of normal
proportions.
This is either focal or generalized, when
generalized, it may be a marker of a
systemic disease or genetic disorder.
h Location
Permanent teeth are affected much more than
primary teeth.
When local factors are responsible only one
tooth may be affected, at other times the
condition may be billaterally symetrical.
|adiologic features.
It is characterised by the deposition of excess
cementum about the root. The hyperplastic
cementum is less dense than the adjacent
dentin.
The outline of the excess cementum usually
follows the shape of the underlying root.
It may be deposited anywhere in the root.
In the anterior region, hypercementosis may
be laid down in a sperical pattern.
In some instances, hypercementosis is
sufficiently extensive to cause two adjacent
teeth to become attached to each other.
¢ 

h ¢ementicles are small foci of calcified
tissue within the periodontal ligament. They
resemble cementum histologically, but they
are thought to represent dystrophic
calcifications resulting from degenerative
changes.
h |adiology
According to shafer cementicles are found within the
periodontal ligament space.
They may be located anywhere along the root or at
the apex. They are 0.2 to 0.3 mm in diameter.
They appear as thin tiny flecks that cause the
widened periodontal ligament space to become
more radiopaque.

h Most investigators believe pcd is a reactive
disorder rather than a neoplastic process.
The reactive elements consists of the
periodontal ligament, cementum,and bone.
Trauma and infection may stimulate the
reactive process.

age of 40 years
Equally among men and women.
It is asymptomatic.
h |adiological features.
They are characterized by a lack of resorption
of the lamina dura and deposition of
sclerotic bone within the confines of the
socket.
The lack of lamina dura resorption is the
earliest sign of socket sclorsis.
In later stages the socket is filled completely
with sclerotic bone.
   
h They are bony outgrowths from the maxilla
and the mandible.
Their cause is unknown.
Tend to occur in females a possible genetic
origin is suggested.
They may be very small pinpoint size or

h Tori are varients of exostosis occuring in a
specifically defined location. In the jaws,
tori are found in two locations.
h Mandibular tori or lingual tori occur on the
lingual cortex of the mandible.
h Whereas palatal tori are seen on the hard
palate in the midline.

h A benign neoplasm charecterised by
proliferation of compact or cancellous bone,
usually in an endosteal or periosteal
location and uncommonly entirely within
the soft tissue.
h ¢linical features.
Based on location , osteomas may be
classified as peripheral, central,or within
soft tissue.
Multiple osteomas of any type may be a sign
of gardners syndrome.
|adiologic features.
Most common site of osteomas is the calvaria
of the skull and walls of paranasal
sinusis.they are considered rare in the jaws.
Osteomas of the skull.
The frontal sinus is the most commonly
affected sinus. The margins of the sinus
may expand due to osteoma.
h When calvaria is affected the outer table is
the most common site.
Osteomas in the jaw.
Most common location is the mandible molar
region. Towards the buccal side.
Maxillary antrum.
h |adiologic features of peripheral osteomas
of the jaw.
They usually do not exceed 2 cms , but may
reach massive proportions.
The peripheral osteomas consists of a well
defined area of increased density projecting
beyond the confines of parental bone.
It may be within the confines of bone.
Two types ±compact and cancellous type.
h The compact type is almost always sessile
and rarely pedunculated.
The compact type has well defined areas of
increased density. Granular or ground glass
apearence can be seen.
h |adiologic features of central osteoma in
the jaw.
Well defined ,localised area of more
radiodense bone.
Margins are well defined and continous with
adjacent bone.
A radiolucent line surrounding the lesion is
absent because it is not encapsulated.
h |adiologic features of soft tissue osteomas.
both cancellous and compact subtypes may
be seen.
They rarely exceed 2 cms in diameter.
˜    
h They occur during secound decade of life.
h Males are affected more frequently than
females.
h The patient complains of pain.
h Pain is described as disproportionately
severe with respect to the size of the lesion.
h It is a slow growing lesion. Includes
swelling, tenderness,and local erythema.
h |adiology .
Occurs in teenage.
Most common site is body of mandible.
The next common site is the condyle and
antrum.
Identification of nidus.- the lesional tissue
consists of a round or ovoid radiolucent
nidus, surrounded by reactive bone. The
nidus is usually located within or near the
cortex. Within the nidus there may be a
small calcification
An useful adjunct in locating the nidus is
radioisotope imaging. Osteoid osteoma
takes up 99m technetium diphosphonate
avidly because of the intense osteoblastic
activity.
The size of the nidus is important because it
helps to differentiate osteoid osteoma from
osteoblastoma.
h If theradiolucent nidus is 1cm or smaller-
osteoid osteoma.
h Larger than 2cm ±osteoblastoma.
[   
 
h It isrelatively rare in the skeleton and even
more uncommon in the jaw.
In jaw lesions there is a male predilection.
90% of patients younger than 30 years.
Pain and swelling are common findings.
Swelling is tender on palpation, redness of
the overlying mucosa, tooth mobility and
tenderness on percussion.

¢an be completely radiolucent or it may
contain flecks of calcification. They may be
focal or few in number, or may coalesce to
form focal larger areas of calcific material
or lesion may appear completely
radiopaque.
h Aggressive lesions are characterised by
rapid growth, poorly defined margins, more
severe bone destruction,and spread to
adjacent anatomic structures. In such cases
the clinician should suspect malignant
changes.

h |adiologic features.
The lesions are lytic and may contain calcific
foci ± this imparts a snow-flake like
appearance.
Margins are sclerotic and may have a
scalloped appearance. They are well
delineated from surrounding bone.
h Slow growing.
Locally destructive.
¢hondromas have the potential to destroy a
large segment of the involved jaw.
The most important point-efforts should be
made to rule out recurrence, even after 10
years of surgery.

h |adiographic features.
Usually arises in the metaphysis of a long
bone.benign bone response may be
identified by the uniformity of their density
and their distinctness of their margins.
The less uniform in density and distinctness
the greater is the likelihood for malignancy.
In jaw varients three basic paterns are seen
1) Osteolytic pattern-no bone is formed.
2) Mixed pattern-some bone is formed.
3) A sclerotic pattern-entirely bone forming.
h Osteolytic osteosarcoma.
Poorly defined, they extend more deeply into
bone. They may have corticated margins in
the tumor, but there is usually some
evidence of a break through.
An early finding is the symmetrical widened
periodontal membrane space along the
length of a root of one or several adjacent
teeth. The teeth may be very painfull.
h In maxilla ±there is complete destruction of
the maxilla and the antral floor.
h Mixed pattern-there may be well defined
areas of bone destruction with partially
sclerotic margins. May produce a honey
comb pattern.
h A pattern of perpendicular bony striae that
radiate from the surface of bone has been
termed a sun ray or sunburst pattern.
h Sclerotic osteosarcoma.
