gingival diseases 2 Flashcards
inflammatory condition of the skin and mucous membranes; oral involvement alone is common and can affect any area of the oral mucosa
lichen planus
lichen planus has characteristic skin lesions called ____ and has various clinical appearances
wickham striae
forms of lichen planus that are generally asymptomatic
papular, reticular, and plaque-like forms
forms of lichen planus that are generally symptomatic
atrophic, ulcerative, bullous forms
lichen planus characterized by subepithelial, band-like accumulation of ____ and ____, characteristic of a ____ hypersensitivity reaction
lymphocytes and macrophages
type IV
lichen planus characterized by ____ in the basement membrane and deposits of _____
fibrin; IgM, C3, C4, and C5
group of disorders in which autoantibodies towards components of the basement membrane result in detachment of the epithelium from the connective tissue
pemphigoid
histology of pemphigoid shows autoantibody reactions against _____ and _____ components
hemidesmosome; lamina lucida
deposits of _____ in pemphigoid
C3, IgG and other Igs
three types of pemphigoid
- bullous
- benign mucous membrane
- cicatrical (scar formation)
in pemphigoid, rubbing of the gingiva creates bulla formation
Nicholsky sign
pemphigus vulgaris characterized by the formation of _____ in skin and mucous membranes
intraepithelial bullae
histology of pemphigus vulgaris shows _____ due to destruction of desmosomes and pericellular epithelial deposits of _____
acantholysis ; IgG and C3
histology of pemphigus vulgaris also shows circulating autoantibodies against _____
interepithelial adhesion molecules
acute, sometimes recurrent, vesiculobullous disease affecting both mucous membranes and skin; oral involvement in as much as 25-60% of cases
erythema multiforme
erythema multiforme characterized by ____, often with extensive crust formation of the _____
swollen lips; vermilion border
the extensive necrosis of erythema multiforme is called _____
stevens-johnson syndrome (oral, ocular, genital, skin)
erythema multiforme appears to be a cytotoxic immune reaction towards keratinocytes caused by a wide range of factors including _____ and _____
herpes simplex virus; various drugs
autoimmune connective tissue disorder in which autoantibodies form to various cellular constituents
lupus erythematosus
LE lesions characterized by central atrophic area with small white dots surrounded by irradiating fine ____ with a periphery of _____
white striae; telangiectasia
characteristic skin lesions of LE called _____
butterfly lesions
histology of LE shows degeneration of ____ and increased ____ of the BM
basal cells; width
mild chronic form of LE which affects skin and mucous membranes
discoid forms
drug-induced mucocutaneous disorders
gingival hyperplasia (enlargement) erythema multiforme oral ulceration epithelial atrophy, superficial sloughing intense erythema
drugs that can induce these mucocutaneous disorders
immunosuppressants, calcium channel blockers, anti-epilepsy drugs, anti-malarial drugs, anti-neoplastic drugs, methotrexate (for leukemia)
_____ diseases and _____ disorders can systemic problems that can cause gingival manifestations
GI diseases; hematological disorders (such as leukemia)
reactive processes of periodontal soft tissues
- fibroma/focal fibrous hyperplasia
- calcified fibroblastic granuloma
- pyogenic granuloma
- peripheral giant cell granuloma
