18
Q

keratinised epithelium

A

epithelium which is non keratinised becomes keratin

19
Q

hyperkeratinisd epithelium

A

epithelium which is keratinised normally shows an increase in the thickness of the keratin layer

20
Q

causes of hyperkeratinisation or keratinisation

A
trauma
hereditary disease
infection
idiopathic
immune mediated disease
21
Q

trauma from tobacco smoke

clinical appearance

A

stomatitis nicotina
white on hard palate with red dots
inflammation around salivary gland openings
respond to protect mucosa from tabacco smoke

22
Q

white spong naevus and clinical apperace

A

autosomal dominant gene condition

multiple lesions in OC, paths of whiteness fading into muscosa

23
Q

idiopathic

A

cannot be described by any other cuase

24
Q

lichen Planus

A

immune mediated
T cell attach basal keratinocytes and basal compartments
clinical
- lice like patterns
- normally on bucal mucosa/lateral border of tongue

25
Q

lichen Plans histology

A

dense collection of lymphocytes

lymphocytes migrate into epitheliu as they have destroyed the basal cell compartment

26
Q

what does loss of epithelium appear clinically and its cause

A

ulcer - white with reddened mucosa surrouding

acute inflammatory response in CT

27
Q

what causes the white patches in an ulcer

A

due to fibrin depostion

28
Q

what is an ulcer covered in

A

slough (fibrin and neutrophils)

29
Q

causes of an ucler

A

trauma
immune mediated
inflammation
malignant disease

30
Q

what is multiple ulcers at one time called

A

recurrent aphthous ulceration

31
Q

herpes complex

A

vesicles that burst to cause ulcer
crusty regions
somatic symptoms, sore throat, flu

32
Q

what casues blisters/vesciles

A

separation from underlying connective tissue

33
Q

causes of separation from underlying CT

A

viral infections

immune mediated responces

34
Q

viral infections that cause blisters

A

herpangina (blisters break down to ulcers)

35
Q

immune mediated responses that cause blisters

A

pemphigus vulgaris

pemphigoid

36
Q

what is an intraepithelial blister formation

A

epithelium on either side of the blister

still have basal cells connected to the tissue

37
Q

herpangina

A

caused by a virus
posterior aspect will have blisters
systemically unwell, fever sore throat

38
Q

what is an abccess from tooth usually caused by

A

carious tooth

39
Q

herpangia connective tissue changesd

A

inflamed (red, swollen)

hyperplastic (swelling, nodule)

40
Q

causes of herpangia

A

infection from teeth
periodontal disease
associated with ulceratio

41
Q

connective tissue changes from abccess from tooth and causes and clinical appearance

A
hyperplasia (increase in CT)
clinical appearance (nodule, limp, pale or red)

causes

  • trauma from teeth
  • dentures
42
Q

pyogenic granuloma

A

overgrowth of granulation tissue
red along gingival margin
due to bad OH or due to hormones

43
Q

fibrous hyperplasia

A

large
pale pink
increase in denseness of cT (slight hyperkeratosis)

44
Q

summary of changes in epithelium and CT

A

Epithelial changes
• Atrophic: thinned and red
• Hyperplastic: may appear white
• Hyperkeratotic: increase in keratin appears white
• Ulceration- loss of epithelium, yellow/cream patch surrounded by erythema (red)
• Blisters: separation of epithelium. Usually bursts to give ulcer
Connective tissue changes
• Inflamed: red, swollen firm yellow
• Hyperplastic: firm/soft lump or swelling
• Red mucosa: atrophic epithelium or inflamed connective tissue
• White patch: keratosis/hyperkeratosis caused by trauma, idiopathic, fungal infection, immune mediated disease such as lichen planus
• Ulceration: traumatic, recurrent aphthous ulceration, viral infections, malignant disease
• Blisters: viral infections and immune mediated diseases
