- immune defect: AIDs
- xerostomia: drug/radiation induced
- disturbed oral flora: antibiotics/steroids
- other factors: hospitalisation, smoking
Which fungal infection is the following?
- presents with marked soreness and erythema, particularly on the palate and dorsum of the tongue, the filiform papillae disappear, and the dorsal surface of the tongue appears smooth
- it is usually asymptomatic or is accompanied by a mild burning and itching sensation
- usually secondary to broad spectrum abx
- may be a feature of HIV
- painful
acute erythematous oral candidiasis
Which fungal infection is the following?
- can manifest in nodular form or as white plaques on the cheek or tongue, that are not easily removed
- it presents with mild symptoms, but has an associated increased risk of malignancy
- most common in men over 30 and in smokers
chronic hyperplastic candidiasis
Which fungal infection is the following?
- affects any surface
- can be wiped away, asymptomatic
- common in patients taking abx, steroids, immune defects
- tx: anti fungals and testing for HIV/malignancy
pseudomembranous candidosis (thrush)
Which oral manifestation is the following?
- associated with atopic conditions, and psoriasis, characterised by central erythema caused by atrophy of the filiform papillae and surrounding slightly elevated, white-yellow borders
geographic tongue
Which oral manifestation is the following?
- accumulation of excess keratin on the filiform papillae of the dorsal surface of the tongue, leading to the formation of elongated strands that look like hair
- the colour of the tongue an range from white or tan to black, it occurs most commonly in smokers, those with poor OH, and those who overuse MWs
hairy tongue
Which oral manifestation is the following?
- a white patch or plaque on the mucosa that cannot be rubbed off, may be caused by chronic exposure to irritants or chronic infection
- commonly a benign condition, but may be pre-malignant
leukoplakia
Which oral manifestation is the following?
- an inflammatory condition with two main types
lichen planus
Which type of lichen planus is the following?
- characterised by bilateral, asymptomatic, white, lacy striations (or papules) on the posterior buccal mucosa
- this form is easily identifiable and does not usually require further investigation
reticular lichen planus
Which type of lichen planus is the following?
- manifests as zones of tender erythema and painful ulcers surrounded by white, radiating striae and may require biopsy to rule out serious cases
erosive lichen planus
Which oral manifestation is the following?
- early lesions are often asymptomatic, appear as areas of red or white patches, and may be ulcerated or exophytic (growing outwards)
squamous cell carcinoma
Which oral manifestation is the following?
- lesions are usually macular, but may be nodular or pedunculated
- pigmentation varies from dark brown, to blue-black, however mucosa coloured or white patches may be seen and erythema is observed when lesions are inflamed
