Q

describe VBdisease - pemphigoid disease?

A

= bening mucous membrane pemphigoid

  • affects mucous membrane of other organs e.g. eye
21
Q

describe the difference between pemphigoid and pemphigus?

A

Pemphigoid
= sub-epithelial bullae

Pemphigus
= intra-epithelial bullae

22
Q

when can oral manifestations occur as a result of GI consequences?

A

1) underlying malabsorption

2) consequent haematinic deficiency

23
Q

what is Crohn’s disease?

A

= oral manifestations in 0.5%-20% of cases

24
Q

what are features of Crohn’s disease?

A
  • cobble stoning of mucosa

25
Q

what is ulcerative colitis?

A

= oral ulceration

  • pyostomatiis vegetates
  • angular stomatitis
  • reflects severity of intestinal disease (exacerbation and remission)
26
Q

what classifies white patches?

A

= those that wipe off or not

27
Q

white patches that do and don wipe off?

A 
DO
= usually psuedo-membranous candidieasis/thrush
DONT

28
Q

what could be the cause of oral pigmentation?

A

A

= xerostomia

Causes

30
Q

wha is sjogrens syndrome?

A

= dry eyes and dry mouth
- commonly affects females more than males (can be primary or secondary - secondary associated with other auto-immune disease)

Oral manifestations;
- large salivary glands 
- as a result of drug mouth; 
= increased caries
= depapillaed tongue
= red, dry, wrinkled mucosa
= increased predisposition o candida
31
Q

what happens in leukaemia?

A 
= gingival enlargement 
= peechiae
= mucosal bleeding

= infiltration by malignant cells
= boggy gingiivae 
= presentation due to 
immuno-compromise; 
- candida 
- herpes infection 
- opportunistic infection
32
Q

describe lymphomas presentation in the mouth?

A

= palpable lymph nodes
- extra/intra oral diffuse swellings
= ulceration
= tooth migration/mobility

33
Q

wha are oral manifestations of HIV?

A 
= ulceration 
= Kaposi's sarcoma 
= HPV lesions 
= salivary gland swelling 
= due to immuno-supression 
= increased risk of malignancy
