Quiz 4 Flashcards
Which papillae are involved in transient lingual papillitis?
Fungiform papillae
6 causes of transient lingual papillitis
Local irritation Stress Hormonal imbalances GI disease Viral infection Local hypersensitivity rxn
3 patterns of transient lingual papillitis
- A few on anterior dorsal tongue
- Most of papillae on tip/lateral tongue
- Diffuse + hyperkeratotic (papulokeratotic variant)
Most common oral non traumatic ulcer
Aphthous stomatitis (canker sores)
6 etiological factors for aphthous stomatitis
Immune Genetic Microbiologic Nutrition Stress Trauma
What appears to be the key to the development of aphthous stomatitis?
Mucosal barriers
Disruption = increased ulcers
Increased barrer = less ulcers
3 examples of mucosal barrier disruption associated with increased incidence of aphthous stomatitis ulcers
Trauma
Unattached mucosa
Smoking cessation
Smoking is associated with increased or decreased incidence of aphthous stomatitis?
Decreased
Smoking increases the mucosal barrier
Aphthous stomatitis typical locations
UNATTACHED MUCOSA such as:
Tongue
Vesibule
Buccal mucosa
Herpetiform aphthae
Form of aphthous stomatitis
Multiple small ulcers NOT preceded by vesicles + show NO virus infected cells
5 features of major aphthous stomatitis
> 1 cm Deep Forms scars 6-8+ weeks Severe pain
5 features of minor aphthous stomatitis
< 1 cm Shallow No scarring 10-14 days Uncomfortable
3 differences between canker + cold sores
Canker = intraoral, unattached (movable) mucosa, crateriform
Cold = lip, attached mucosa, vesicular
Aphthous stomatitis NEVER begin as ___
Vesicles
3 features of the clinical appearance of aphthous stomatitis
Round ulcers
Red halo
Fibrin coat
Aphthous stomatitis lesions are coated with?
Fibrin
What kind of immunologic response is assoc. with aphthous stomatitis
T-cell mediated
The (T cell mediated) immune response assoc with aphthous stomatitis produces which cytokine?
TNF-alpha
Describe the immunologic response in apthous stomatitis
Increase # of CD8 T-suppressor cells (relative to CD4 T-helper cells)
Cytokine TNF-alpha produced - targets oral mucosa for destruction by CD8 T suppressor cells
Simple canker sores usually only require palliative tx unless quality of life is altered, in which case there are 4 different tx options:
NSAID (Aphthasol)
Silver nitrate
Acid (Debacterol)
Protective coatings (Orobase)
2 tx options for diffuse minor or herpetiform canker sores
CORTICOSTEROIDS:
- Dexamethasone rinse (.5mg/mL)
- Betamethasone dipropionate (or Flucinonide) gel .05%
Tx for resistant cases of major aphthous stomatitis
Systemic steroids: Prednisone
Oral suspension (swish + swallow) preferred over tablets
6 tx methods for major aphthous stomatitis
- Triamcinolone acetonide injections (in lesion)
- Clobetosol proprionate gel .05%
- Halobetasol propionate ointment .05%
- Triamcinolone tablets (dissolved directly on ulcers)
- Beclomethosone dipropionate spray (hard to reach areas)
- Systemic steriods - Prednisone (resistant cases)
What is the GENERAL plan of attack for tx of severe (+ major) apthtous cases
Break cycle + clear with systemic corticosteroids (high dose, short burst)
Prevent recurrence w topical corticosteroids
Are aphthous stomatitis ulcers associated with systemic conditions different from those seen in healthy pts?
No - ulcers are identical
But will decrease in frequency + severity following resolution of systemic condition
12 systemic conditions assoc w aphthous stomatitis (4 important ones in caps)
BEHCET SYNDROME CYCLIC NEUTROPENIA IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PTS (HIV) INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE Celiacs Nutritional deficiencies IgA deficiency MAGIC syndrome PFAPA syndrome Reactive arthritis Sweet syndrome Ulcus vulvae acutum
7 nutritional deficiencies assoc with aphthous stomatitis
Iron Folate Zinc B1 B2 B6 B12
MAGIC syndrome
*assoc with aphthous stomatitis
Mouth + genital ulcers w inflamed cartilage
PFAPA syndrome - what do the letters stand for
Periodic Fever
Apthous stomatitis***
Pharyngitis
Cervical Adenitis
What is Behcet’s Syndrome?
Multisystem disease
Abnormal immune process triggered by infectious or environmental antigen —-> systemic vasculitis
Triggers for Behcet’s Syndrome (4)
Infectious OR environmental
HLA-B51
Bacteria
Viruses
Pesticides
7 systems that are affected by Behcet’s syndrome (+ assoc symptoms)
GI
Cardio
CNS (paralysis, dementia)
Lungs
Eyes (uveitis, conjunctivitis, cataracts, galucoma)
Skin (erythema nodosum, pseudofolliculitis, acneiform nodules)
Genitals (painful ulcers - esp. in men)
How does aphthous stomatitis present in Behcet’s Syndrome?
Consistent feature
6(+)
High prevalence of MAJOR aphthae
Diagnostic criteria for Behcet’s Syndrome
Recurrent oral ulceration (minor, major or herpetiform) + 2 of the following:
Recurrent genital ulcers, eye lesions, skin lesions, (+) pathergy test
3 prognostic factors for Behcet’s Syndrome
Gender - F better
Age - older better
Eye + CNS involvement = worse
What is sarcoidosis
Chronic granulomatous disorder
Improper degradation of antigenic material (infectious or env) leading to INAPPROPRIATE DEFENSE RESPONSE with formation of noncaseating granulomatous inflammation
What kind of inflammation is invoved in sarcoidosis
Noncaseating granulomatous inflammation
4 etiological routes for sarcoidosis
- Prolonged/heavy antigenic exposure
- Immunodysregulation preventing adequate cell-mediated response
- Defective regulation of initial immune response
- Combo
Does sarcoidosis have a genetic predisposition?
Yes
(+) associations w certain HLA types
8 triggers (antigens) of sarcoidosis
Epstein-Barre virus HHV-8 Wood dust Pollen Clay Mold Silica
