Fiibrous hyperplasia

Went for routine dentist appt, and they thought found a cyst. So after biopsy with surgeon it was not a cyst but bone loss on two areas of my teeth. I had braces before, and had them on for over 4 years, it was supposed to be 2 but i did not go to check-ups. Surgeon said I need a bone graft, but was too expensive to do right now. He didnt seem too concerned about it. But I went on internet, and seen that fibrous hyperplasia is a bone disease, now I'm really scared.

Here is report. i do not understand it.

Report

The patient has had previous orthodontic thereby. A radiograph is said to show an inter-radicular readiolucency in the teeth# 25-26 area. Clinically, strained and exposed roots are described.

Gross: The formalin fixed tissue receieved measures 0.8 x 0.3 cm. and consist of one irregular tan brown soft tissie fragment. The

specimen was not secioned and totatlly submitted.

Microscopic: Sections reveal wedge-shaped segments of tissue partially covered by slightly obliquely sectioned mucosal-type sqamous epithelium displaying no atypia. The bulk of the underlying connective tissue is composed of a large amount of collagenzing, scar-like fashion superficially into skeletal muscle-fibers. muscle fibers occupy approximately one-haf of the volume of the specimen. THe penetration of the scar-like fibrous tissue into the muscle is very superficial. No evidence of malignancy isobserved into the sections studied.

Diagnosis: Fiibrous hyperplasia (528.9)

Could this be caused from wearing braces for a long period of time? I'm a healthy 25 year old, so I was just concerned on how this could happen. Although my teeth are not in the greatest shape, I had to go for deep route cleaning a few months ago.

The clinical presentation is important in determining if the histology is consistent with the diagnosis.

In any case, it is important that you follow-up with the doctor who can perform routine radiographs to make sure the bone defect does not worsen.  X-rays every three months for one year is appropriate.

Bone grafts are important to stabilize the adjacent teeth and should be considered as soon as possible.
