Intraoral Exams Flashcards
Where is the type 2 Herpe simplex fever blisters located?
genital
• VESICLES DEVELOP IN THE ORAL CAVITY, INCLUDING
THE PHARYNX, PALATE, BUCCAL MUCOSA, LIPS, AND/OR
TONGUE.
• THE VESICLES RAPIDLY BREAK DOWN INTO SMALL
ULCERS AND ARE COVERED WITH AN EXUDATE
• LESIONS MAY EXTEND TO INVOLVE THE LIPS AND
BUCCAL MUCOSA.
• THE LESIONS GENERALLLY RESOLVE WITHOUT
THERAPY IN TWO WEEKS
HERPES GINGIVOSTOMATITIS
- Common for individual lesions to coalesce into larger irregular ulcerations.
- Heal within 7-10 days, but the recurrences tend to be closely spaced.
- Many patients are affected almost constantly for periods as long as 3 years.
- Any oral mucosal may be involved
- Female predominance
- Onset is adulthood.
HERPETIFORM APHTHOUS ULCERATIONS
What is the difference between Minor and Major Canker sores
Minor: <1 cm and shallow
Major > 1 cm and deeper
Which is the only FDA approved treatment for canker sores? What is significant about it.
Aphthasol
must be started early in the prodromal stage.
Running together, blended. Originally separate but now formed into one.
CONFLUENT
Bony lump(s)•Asymptomatic•20-30% of people•Females: males = 2:1•No tx necessary•Unless need dentures
Torus Palatinus•
Bony hard
( torus)
On the _____, Look for: •Rugae (normal) = Horizontal ridges•Torus palatinus (normal) = Bony lump•Ulcerations•Lesions
Hard palate
The increase in HSV-2 is due partly to lack of prior
exposure to ______ increased sexual activity, and
lack of barrier contraception.
HSV-1,
returns quickly to original shape
Spongy =
•having small bump-like elevations or projections
Papillary
An elevated, deep solid lesion .5 – 2.0 cm. •Overlying mucosa not fixed•Ex: fibroma
Nodule•
(pressure alters its shape)
Compressible
INFECTIONS OF THE THUMBS OR
FINGERS. • GROUPED, FLUID OR PUS FILLED. • USUALLY, ITCH AND /OR PAINFUL
HERPETIC WHITLOW
attached to the surface on a broad base.•Immobile, fixed
Sessile•
color change - freckle
Blanching =
Recurrent herpes labialis is best treated in the_______
phase.
prodrome
Under dentures
• Red on palate or tongue
• Burn w/ spicy foods & alcohol
Atrophic Candidiasis
Diabetes Hormone Changes Menopause Pregnancy Depression/ anxiety Radiation for head and neck cancer Auto immune disease
Medical History that can indicate Xerostomia
white line •parallel to occlusal plane •Asymptomatic•Caused by trauma •Chewing cheek
Linea Alba•
• Prodromal signs-tingling, itching,
pain, burning. Arise 6-24 hours
before lesions develop. • multiple fluid-filled blisters • merge and collapse • yellowish crust • 2 weeks healing
Herpes Simplex
I could not think of better way to ask this.
More common in African-Americans•“milky” white surface or blue-grey•Symmetrical•Doesn’t rub off•Disappears / decreases when stretched•normal
Leukoedema•
bony elevation or prominence
Torus•
A denuded area extending below the basal layer•Gradual tissue disintegration•Usually, painful•Ex: aphthous or herpes simplex
Ulcer•
(returns slowly to original shape)
Doughy
Small (<1 cm.) vesicular-type lesion containing purulent material rather than clear fluid•Creamy white or yellow•Ex: dental abscess
Pustule•
firm but not as hard as bone (solid rubber ball) •
Induration =
an outer layer, covering, or scab, from a coagulation of blood, serum, pus, or any combination
Crust•
_______ suspension-initiated during the first 3 symptomatic
days in a rinse-and-swallow techniques 5x/day for 5 days.
Significant acceleration in clinical resolution is seen.
Acyclovir
White plaque
• Looks like hyperkeratosis
• But rubs off
• Inside the corners, buccal mucosa, lateral tongue
Visual evidence of Candidiasis
Canker Sores (aphthous ulcers) vs. cold sores (herpes simplex)
• no blister • generally larger • rarely merge • movable intraoral tissue • tongue, buccal mucosa, soft palate, inner lip
Sulfur-colored•Very common•Asymptomatic•1-3mm papules in the oral cavity•Or lip vermillion
Fordyce granules•
Risks of Candidiasis
Immunocompromised • Pregnancy • Poor oral hygiene • Smoking • Stress • Depression
Birth control pills • Long term AB • Diabetes • Dentures that don’t fit • Xerostomia • Iron, B12 deficiency
