Question
Answer
Fibroma formation where patient has been cheek biting   Reactive Connective Tissue Hyperplasia  
Glandular component of breasts in nursing mothers   Hyperplasia  
Size of one kidney when the other is removed   Hypertrophy  
Squamous cell carcinoma   Neoplasia  
Skeletal muscles when exercised   Hypertrophy  
Epulis Fissuratum   Reactive Connective Tissue Hyperplasia  
Tongue thrust habit   Hypertrophy  
Pyogenic Granuloma   Reactive Connective Tissue Hyperplasia  
Pulp Polyp   Reactive Connective Tissue Hyperplasia  
Squamous Papilloma   Neoplasia  
Patient's fractured right ankle has been immobilized with a cast for the past 6 weeks. Appearance of that ankle when the cast is removed   Atrophy  
Increase in the size of an organ as a result of increase in the size of cells is defined as   Hypertrophy  
On medical history, patient indicates he is being treated for Epilepsy. On examination, gingival enlargement in papillary areas is noticed by the clinician. This gingival enlargement is caused by:   Phenytoin  
Papillary hyperplasia is an oral lesion   in the vault of the palate due to denture irritation  
statements about Neoplasia   It means 'New Growth' It exhibits unlimited growth It exhibits unregulated growth The cells undergo irreversible change  
occur on the gingiva   Pyogenic granuloma Irritation fibroma Pregnancy tumor Dilantin hyperplasia  
Formation of keratin over surface of oral mucosa   represents a protective response is analogous to a callus formation on the skin cannot be wiped off  
Syphilis is   an infection caused by this microorganism - Treponema Pallidum - is a spirochete in the Bacterial species  
lesions found in the PRIMARY   Chancre  
lesions found in the SECONDARY   Mucous patches  
lesions found in the Tertiary   Gumma  
other name for Hypoplasia of incisors and molars   Hutchinson's incisors & Mulberry molars  
Interstitial Keratitis cause   blindness  
Eighth Nerve Deafness   Auditory nerve damage  
HUTCHINSON'S TRIAD   1. Hypoplasia of incisors and molars (Hutchinson's incisors & Mulberry molars) 2. Interstitial Keratitis (Causing blindness) 3. Eighth Nerve Deafness (Auditory nerve damage)  
Lesion extending above the surface of mucosa   Exophytic  
Abnormal looking cells on biopsy examination, with no orientation to original cells or to one another   Anaplastic  
Malignant tumor arising from epithelial tissues   Carcinoma  
Occuring in various forms   Pleomorphic  
Any white plaque like lesion of oral mucosa   Leokoplakia  
Cells stained intensely on biopsy examination   Hyperchromatic  
Tumor arising fromtooth forming tissues   Odontogenic  
When a tumor actively spreads to surrounding tissues   Invasion  
Malignant connective tissue tumor   Sarcoma  
Trasport of tumor cells from the primary site to secondary sites   Metastasis  
Define Hyperplasia   an increase in the number of cells - can increase the overall size of the organ. With hyperplasia, normal cells proliferate in a normal arrangement in response to the stimulus (or need). The proliferation stops when the stimulus (or need) is gone.  
Define Hypertrophy   an increase in the size of individual cells of the organ, whereby increasing the overall size of the organ in order to meet an increased functional demand  
Define Reactive connective tissue hyperplasia    
Atrophy   decrease in size and function of an organ, due mainly to 'disuse'. immobilization of fractured leg or arm with plaster cast. The immobilized leg or arm will show 'atrophy', whereas the opposite leg or arm will become 'hypertrophied'  
causes of 'Atrophy' are   1. changes in cellular growth 2. malnutrition 3. pressure 4. ischemia 5. hormonal changes  
Neoplasia   new growth. In this type of tissue response, cells exhibit uncontrolled proliferation. The term 'tumor' is used to indicate 'neoplasia' . Is an abnormal process. The cellular changes are irreversible, and uncontrollable.  
Describe: Epulis fissuratum    
Describe: Papillary hyperplasia of palate    
Describe: Gingival enlargement    
Describe: Chronic hyperplastic pulpitis    
Describe: pulp polyp    
Describe: Pyogenic granuloma    
Describe: Giant cell granuloma    
Describe: Irritation fibroma    
Examples of Hyperplasia   - Gland component of breasts in nursing mothers - Lymph node enlargement in infection - Callus formation on the skin Hypercementosis - Frictional Keratosis & Linea Alba  
Cervical Lymphadenopathy   Lymph node enlargement in infection May be combination of hyperplasia & hypertrophy  
Neoplasia   New growth :Uncontrolled & irregular proliferation of cells  
Anaplastic   When proliferating cells do not look like the original cells, look very abnormal and each cell may look so different than the remaining cells (Loss of differentiation and loss of orientation to one another)  
Benign   fairly harmless, possibility for recovery , treatable and can have a good prognosis.  
Exophytic   Lesion extending above the surface of mucosa  
Carcinoma   Malignant epithelial tumor  
Central   within bone  
Dysplasia   Disorganized growth with no orderly arrangement or shape of cells. A sign of malignancy  
Capsule   a sac of fibrous connective tissue  
Encapsulated   surrounded by a capsule  
Hyperchromatic   cells that are stained intensely when studied under the microscope (Darkly stained than normal cells) . This is a sign of 'Malignant cells'  
In Situ   A lesion that is situated in one spot only without invading tissues around it. (Confined locally)  
Invasion   actively spreading to surrounding tissues, deeper tissues and destroying them. A sign of malignancy  
Primary lesion   A tumor of initial occurance  
Secondaries   this is the term given to subsequent tumors that are formed due to trasport of tumor cells from the primary tumor.  
Metastasis   transport or spread of tumor cells from the primary tumor to other sites to form 'secondaries'.  
Malignant   a lesion when examined by a biopsy and found to have anaplasia, dysplasia, hyperchromatic cells and there is invasion of surrounding tissues. These tumors may have uncontrolled growth, be resistant to treatment, they can metastsize and can recur.  
Leukoplakia   any white plaque like lesion of oral mucosa, that cannot be wiped off. Actual diagnosis of leukoplakias can be done ONLY BY BIOPSY.  
Nevus   A flat pigmented lesion of skin or oral mucosa. (similar to a macule) It may be of hereditary origin or may be present at birth as a birth mark. The pigment is 'melanin'  
Pleomorphic   occurring in various forms  
Sarcoma   Malignant connective tissue tumor  
Undifferentiated   Anaplastic, abnormal cell formation.  
Odontogenic   originating from tooth forming tissues.
