Gastroenterology and Pancreatic Disorders Flashcards
Peptic Ulcer
- gastric vs.duodenal
- affects 14% of mid-adult population
- M > F
- related to H pylori: increased acid secretion and loss of protective mucin layer
- relieved by antacids
General Management of Coeliac Disease
- confirm diagnosis (short stature–>early onset disease)
2. gluten-free diet
Dental Aspects of Coeliac Disease
- diarrhea
- dental defects
- anemia (glossitis, stomatropyrosis, angular chelitis, oral aphthae)
Ulcerative colitis
- colorectum
- superficial inflammation
- painful, bloody diarrhea
- high GI cancer risk (30X)
- no oral lesions
Crohn Disease
- ilium
- genetic component
- GRANULOMAS
- persistent diarrhea
- malabsorption
- increased GI risk
- Tx w/ corticosteroids
- ORAL LESIONS (COBBLESTONE)
Dental Aspects of Crohn’s Disease
- malabsorption complications
- corticosteroid complications
- NO NSAIDs
- NO antibiotics that cause diarrhea
- large, linear, ragged mucosal ulcers
- COBBLESTONE mucosa
- facial/lip swelling
Orofacial Granulomatosis
- incomplete manifestation of Crohn dz or hypersensitivity to food/medicine??
- large, linear, ragged mucosal ulcers
- COBBLESTONE appearance of mucosa
- facial and labial swelling
- MELKERSSON-ROSENTHAL syndrome
* *facial and labial swelling
* *facial palsy
* *fissured tongue
Familial Polyposis
- autosomal dominant
- adenomatous colorectal polyps–>adenocarcinoma
- Gardner’s syndrome
* *GI polyps
* *jaw exostoses
* *jaw osteomas
Carcinoma of the Colon Risk Factors
- cholecytectomy
- diet
- heredity
- IBD
- tobacco
Symptoms of Colon Cancer
- abdominal pain
- chain in bowel habits
- anemia
- melena
- weight loss
- obstruction
Management of Colon Cancer
- surgery
- radiation
- chemotherapy
- LIVER metastasis common
Dental Aspects of Colon Cancer
- general anesthesia=HOSPITAL ONLY
2. ANEMIA may complicate care
Acute Pancreatitis
- multiple etiologies: gallstones, ALCOHOLISM, trauma, ERCP, drugs
- activate enzymes: fat necrosis
- abscess, renal failure, DIC
- severe disease–>15-25% mortality
Dental Aspects of Pancreatitis
- bleeding due to Vitamin K mal-absorption
- alcoholism
- diabetes
- hyperthyroidism
- cystic fibrosis
Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer
- alcohol abuse
- tobacco use (30%)
- betel chewing
- exposure to petroleum products
- chronic pancreatitis
- diet
- heredity
- obesity
Pancreatic Cancer
- originate in exocrine duct
- 95% are adenocarinomas of pancreas head
- binary obstruction, pancreatitis, diabetes
- peripheral venous thrombosis, pruritic, nausea, vomiting
- treating surgically with adjuvant chemo
- WORST SURVIVAL RATE OF ANY CANCER
Dental Aspects of Pancreatic Cancer
- binary obstruction/liver metastasis–>bleeding
- diabetes
- conscious sedation to relieve anxiety
- NO general anesthesia
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux (GERD) Disease
- common form of dyspepsia (“heartburn”)
- multiple etiologies (hiatal hernia)
- tx’s: weight loss, frequent/small meals, elevate head of bed, proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers
Dental Aspect of GERD
Dental Erosion
- palatal of maxillary anteriors and premolars
- rule out bulimia
Plummer-Vinson Syndrome
- post-cricoid dysplasia
- upper esophageal web
- iron deficiency anemia
- increased risk for oral cancer
Management of peptic ulcers
- screen for H. pylori
- conservative therapy: dietary alterations, proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics
- if not caused by H. pylori, may be due to NSAID use; tx with H2 blockers
Peptic Ulcers-Dental Aspects
- dental erosion
- transmission of H. pylori?
- reservoir in plaque/dentures?
- contributor to halitosis?
Coeliac Disease
- AKA gluten-sensitive enteropathy
- most common genetic disease in Europe
- hypersensitivity of SI mucosa to gliadin component of gluten
- gluten found in all forms of wheat and related grain (oats?)
- ingestion causes destruction of jejunal villa and inflammation (malabsorption)
Chronic Pancreatitis
- primary etiologies (gallstones and alcoholism)
- acinar atrophy
- decreased exocrine and endocrine function
* *decreased enzyme secretions
* *decreased insulin secretion
Caused by gallstones and alcoholism
chronic pancreatitis and acute pancreatitis
Acinar atrophy
chronic pancreatitis
Decreased exocrine and endocrine function: decreased enzyme secretions, decreased insulin secretion
chronic pancreatitis
Affects 14% of mid-adult population, M > F
