Cysts of Oral Mucosa

 

  • ·  Oral mucosal cysts are generally well-defined in their borders, non-tender and slow-growing. The mucosa looks normal unless it is injured. 
  • The most common is an epidermoid or dermoid cyst, which grows on the floor of the mouth. Treatment is surgical removal. 
  • A gingival cyst is often located near the first molars. A simple surgical excision is recommended as a treatment. 
  • A lymphoepithelial cyst occurs when the epithelium is trapped in lymph tissue. 
  • An excisional biopsy is an ideal treatment. Thyroglossal tract cysts form between the foramen cecum and thyroid gland. Complete removal is recommended

Clinical Presentation of Surface Lesions and STE

The clinical Presentation of surface oral mucosal lesions The clinical presentation of surface oral mucosal lesions is characterized by changes in the color of the epithelium with visible borders (Sim 2017). Changes in the color or texture of the area are often the earliest clinical manifestations of the lesion. The color of the lesion may be uniformly or speckled red, uniformly or mostly white, or a mixture of red and white. Ulceration or induration of the lesion is a common next step. As this happens, patients may note pain, discomfort, and other symptoms. The clinical presentation of soft tissue enlargement A soft tissue enlargement has two clinical presentation types. In a reactive soft tissue enlargement, the swelling develops rapidly. Its growth rate could be measured in hours, days, or weeks (University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics). Patients with reactive soft tissue enlargement often report pain in the area where the enlargement is located In the case of a s...

Reversible Pulpitis- Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment

  Introduction This is the first stage of pulpitis giving sharp hypersensitivity response to cold, but pain subsides on the removal of stimulus. Definition Reversible pulpitis: it is a mild to moderate inflammatory condition of the pulp caused by noxious stimuli in which the pulp is capable of returning to uninflamed condition following removal of stimuli. Types of Reversible Pulpitis There are two types of Reversible Pulpitis- Acute Reversible Pulpitis Pain occurs for short period of time (few hours and day) however pain immediately ceases when the stimulus is removed. Chronic Reversible Pulpitis Pain present for Long time (months) however pain immediately ceases on the removal of stimulus. Causes/Etiology of Reversible Pulpitis Causes/Etiology of Reversible Pulpitis Trauma to Tooth Heat produced when preparing a cavity with dull bur or without coolant Excessive dehydration of cavity Galvanic shock Chemical stimulus as from sweets and sour ...

Infections in Immunocompromised Patients

  ·   Gingivitis normally has a slow progression toward periodontal disease with increasingly obvious symptoms as the disease worsens. However, people with immune system impairments have more rapid development of periodontal disease. ·   Causes of Periodontal Disease The microbial causes of periodontal disease in immunocompromised patients are the same as in individuals with normal immune systems (Tyring, 2006).   In individuals infected with HIV, if the level of T-helper cells falls too low and AIDS develops, the likelihood of infection from even normally benign microorganisms increases (Prevention, 2017). Effects of Periodontal Disease ·          Gingival tissues specifically are likely targets for opportunistic infections due to the diverse population of bacteria, fungi, and viral particles normally in their environment. In these patients an infection can take root quickly, resulting in si...
