Oral PathologyCentral giant cell granuloma characteristically presents as a single lesion in a single bone, typically the mandible or maxilla. In contrast, osteopetrosis affects multiple bones (generalized marble bone disease), Pagets disease commonly affects multiple bones (though it can be monostotic), and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia by definition affects multiple bones. CGCG is a localized reactive lesion.

Oral PathologyDown syndrome is characterized by maxillary hypoplasia, which gives the appearance of relative mandibular prognathism. The underdeveloped maxilla, combined with a relatively normal-sized mandible, creates the characteristic facial profile. Other features include macroglossia, high arched palate, delayed tooth eruption, and increased periodontal disease susceptibility. The maxillary hypoplasia is a key diagnostic facial feature along with the typical mongoloid facies.
