TRANS 52 Diseases of the Oral Cavity Flashcards
Hypodontia vs Oligodontia vs anodontia?
Hypodontia - tooth loss except the third molars
Oligo - more than 6 teeth missing
Anodontia - all teeth missing`
is the traumatic removal of teeth.
Exodontia
o The tooth rot because of trauma, fails to develop normally,
resulting in an angular malformation of the root
o The condition is associated with rickets and cretinism
Parang sume-sexy ang ngipin. Happens to kids na
nababagsak.
Dilaceration
Refer if there are just unerupted teeth. If so, refer to the dental
department.
Supernumerary teeth
In severe cases parang nagtatanggal na ang coating.
Enamel hypoplasia
o May be due to antibiotic exposure (tetracycline) prior to
eruption
Tetracycline was the ‘wonder drug’ in the 70s even sepsis
neonatorum cases. Upon eruption of the teeth, may
discoloration agad. It’s not as used today save for
autoimmune problems in adults.
Enamel discoloration`
is the general term for any inflammatory disorder of the oral mucosa
• It can be associated with the following diseases:
o Gingivitis
o Periodontitis (pyorrhea)
o Periodontosis: chronic degenerative destruction of the periodontal tissue
o Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
o Herpetic gingivostomatitis and herpes labialis
o Herpangina (Group A Coxsackievirus)
o Noma (acute necrotizing gingivitis)
o Bacterial stomatitis
o Thrush (Candida albicans)
Stomatitis
How to differentiate leukoplakia and thrush?
On PE: you will see white spots on the mouth. To know against leukoplakia: scrape off with a tongue blade. Kapag natanggal, fungal infection; kapag nag-bleed, baka mass sa tongue/cancer.
causative agent of periodontitis? herpangina? Thrush Actinomycoses Histoplasmosis?
pyorrhea? Group A cocksackievirus Candida albicans Filiform bacillus histoplasma capsylatum
o Recurrent aphthous ulcers
o Multiple, large deep ulcers that can cause excessive scarring
Sutton Disease
Pemphigus vulgaris vs Pemphigoid
• Pemphigus vulgaris
o Intraepidermoid bullae
• Pemphigoid
o Subepidermoid bullae
o Differentiation from pemphigus requires histologic examination with staining for basement membrane
Mas malalim, mas mahirap ang treatment and management.
A combination of symptoms: Oral ulcerations, conjunctivitis, iritis, and urethritis
• Behcet Disease
o Lack of Vitamin B12
o tongue may show lobulations on surface
o In advance cases: be shiny, smooth and red
o Oral mucosa may exhibit an irregular erythema
Before they would place leech on the tongue para mapalabas ang dugo.
• Pernicious Anemia
o Oral mucosa is ash gray (may be associated with Plummer Vinson Syndrome)
o Tongue is smooth and devoid of papillae
• Iron deficiency anemia
Upon PE, parang baliktad sila ng pernicious anemia. Malaki ang dila mo in both pero sa IDA ay smooth. Pag may nakita kang lobulations, pernicious anemia.
o Oral mucosa has diffuse pallor and cyanosis
• Thalassemia (Mediterranean Anemia)
o Oral mucosa is bright blue-red with gingival bleeding
For my patient with 24-hr bleeding, it might be hemangioma. I ordered a CT for my patient who refused admission. Remember to put this on your chart especially in emergency cases.
• Polycythemia
o Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
o Forms spider-like blood vessels or angiomatous appearing lesions in the oral mucosa, tongue, and nasal mucosa and is associated with recurrent epistaxis
o The GI tract may be involved, and transfusion may be required
Osler-Weber-Rendu Disease
o Port wine stain of the face, oral cavity, or tongue associated with vascular malformation of the meninges and cerebral cortex
Sturge-Weber Syndrome
o Purpura due to marked decrease in platelets from a variety of causes
o Initial manifestations are often petechia and ecchymosis
Remember to differentiate among purpura, Koplik spots, and dengue.
Thrombocytopenic purpura
Usually in age 40, may ulcerations na in pre-menopausal women.
Clues: hot flushes, burning sensation kahit lagyan na ng yelo
o Senile atrophy
o Dry oral mucosa with burning sensation, diffuse erythema, shiny mucosa, and occasionally fissuring in the melobuccal fold
• Menopausal gingivostomatitis
what nutritional deficiency? atrophic glossitis, angular cheilosis, gingivostomatitis
Riboflavin:
what nutritional deficiency? angular cheilosis
- Pyridoxine: angular cheilosis
* Nicotine acid: angular cheilosis
gingivitis (bleeding gums)/ what nutritional deficiency?
Vitamin C
o Often presents as violaceous macules on the oral mucosa
Kaposi Sarcoma
o Physiologic pigmentation
o Often seen as dark patches of the oral mucosa
Differentiate between melanosis and nicotine patch. Ask if the px is a smoker. If yes and malakas, it might be the latter.
Melanosis
o Inadvertent tattoo of gingiva from dental amalgam introduced through mucosal laceration
Amalgam tatoo
o Melanotic macules periorally
Similar to melanosis, but since macules, medyo maliit. Also differentiate this from foot and mouth disease which also has ulcerations.
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
o Black
Expect this in patients from the mining industry.
Bismuth
o Blue-gray line (Burton Line) that follows margin of gingiva
Lead
