Rootless teeth C. Unicystic Ameloblastoma D. Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma E. Candidiasis - F. Hyperparathyrodism G. Regressive Alteration of teeth H. Verrucous Carcinoma I. Iron Deficiency anemia / J. Histopathology of the following with suitable diagrams: i. Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst ii. Adenoid Cystic carcinoma
| Q | Topic | Key Examiner Focus Points |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | Odontogenic Cysts + Radicular Cyst | WHO classification, Rushton bodies, cholesterol clefts, corticated radiolucency at apex of non-vital tooth |
| Q2 | OPMDs + Oral Submucous Fibrosis | Arecoline mechanism, juxta-epithelial hyalinization, 4 histological stages, 7-13% malignant transformation |
| Topic | Must-Know Point |
|---|---|
| Bite Marks | ABFO scale, UV photography, DNA swabs first |
| Rootless Teeth | Dentin Dysplasia Type I; thistle-tube pulp on radiograph |
| Unicystic Ameloblastoma | Ackermann 3 types; Type 3 (mural) = worst prognosis |
| Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma | Most common salivary malignancy; 3 cell types; MAML2 translocation |
| Candidiasis | Pseudohyphae on PAS; Munro's microabscesses in hyperplastic type |
| Hyperparathyroidism | Bones/Stones/Groans/Moans; loss of lamina dura; brown tumor |
| Regressive Alterations | Attrition/Abrasion/Erosion/Abfraction/Resorption; wedge = abrasion, cupping = erosion |
| Verrucous Carcinoma | Ackermann's tumor; pushing border; parakeratin plugs; wide excision |
| Iron Deficiency Anemia | Plummer-Vinson syndrome (dysphagia triad); serum ferritin = earliest marker |
| COC | Ghost cells = PATHOGNOMONIC; PAS+ dentinoid; low recurrence |
| Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma | Swiss-cheese cribriform; perineural invasion; tubular = best, solid = worst |
