recurrent apthous stomatitis
most common soft tissue lesion
requirement for course
common lesions and know how to deal with it
incidence of apthous stomatitis
17%s
associated with apthous stomatitis
hematologic deficiency
- serum iron, folate, vit b 12
etiology of apthous stomatitis
90% vs 20%
- parent with this lesion – 90% more likely to have it
clinical manifestations of minor ulcers (apthous)
less than 1.0 cm, round, shallow, multiple, healing begins within 1 week and completes in 10-14 days
without scars
benign and subclinical a lot of t
clinical manifestations of major apthous ulcers
over 1,0 cm, round, deep, extremely painful, last for months, heal slwly and leave scars, result in decreased mobility
inflammation is simpy
dilated blood vessels caused by ___ whatever it is
clinical housmanifestations of herpetic form apt ulcers
less common, multiple small punctuate ulcers scatterd over the oral mucosa
DD for apthous stomatitis
viral stomatitis, pemphigoid, drug reactions
- biopsy only needed to exclude other lesions
reference ranges for serum iron, folate, b-12, and ferrtin
iron - 50-160 in men 40-150 in woman
folate 1.8- 9.0 ng/ ml
serum b12- 140-170
serum ferritin
male - 15-200
female - 12-150
tx for mild cases - apthous ulcer
orabase paste
- 20% benzocaine -
for maximum strenght pain relief and protective film for long lasting pain relief and protective film on lesions
tx for severe cases of apthous ulcers
listed in?
topical streoid preperations
* listed in increasing potency of anti-inflammatory effect by altering the way the immune system responds to certain stimuli
- ## triamcinolone
- ## flucinonide
- ## clobetasol
- flucinonide - lidex 0.05%
behcet’s disease
autoimmune disease
- recurrent oral ulcers recurrent genital ulcers occular inflammation
etiology of behcet’s disease
cross reactivity antigens –> humoral antibody or cell mediated immune responses –> leads to cytotoxic effects –> then epithelial damage
clinical manifestations of behcet’s disease
recurrent oral ulcers (like RAS)
recurrent genital ulcers
occular inflammation
skin lesions
based on these 4 points – so 4 points system is used to describe this disease
primary infection HSV
prodromal symptoms
- fever, headache, malasie, nausea, vomitting
thin walled small vesicles–QUICKLY RUPTURE – shallow, round, discrete ulcers– large irregular painful ulcers of the lips and oral cavity (gingivostomatitis) – surrounded by an arythematous halo – heal spontaneously in 7-14 days
recurrent infections
of HSV 1 - prodromal period is 1 day with tingling, burning, swellling at the site of muccocutaenous junction of upper lip triangle zone beneath the nose –
cluster 1-2 cm of small vesicles of 1-3 mm
may or may not rupture to form shallow ulcers
heal in about 7 days
HHV 8
kaposi’s sarcoma
involved with immunosuppresion and HIV patients
HHV 8
kaposi’s sarcoma
involved with immunosuppresion and HIV patients
tx for HSV
acyclovir (zovirax) – for all members of herpes
- synthetic purine nucleoside specificall against human herpes virus
mechanism – highly selective – ONLY ACTIVE WHEN INFECTED
- viral thymidine kinase (contained in the virus)
the TK converts to active form – now active acyclovir triphosphate from which can be inorporated into growing chains of viral DNA, resulting in termination of viral DNA
terminates viral DNA
