Thoughts

  •   Oral lesions involve the epithelium and sometimes the connective tissue attached to the epithelium, explains Eversole (2004).
  • Surface debris white lesions are related to the death of the epithelial tissue. They are often painful. They could be caused by a burn from hot food, hot drinks, or chemicals.
  • The leading difference between a soft tissue enlargement and an oral lesion of the oral mucosa is the size. Soft tissue enlargements are at least five millimeters in diameter.
  • Oral mucosal cysts are generally well-defined in their borders, non-tender and slow-growing. The mucosa looks normal unless it is injured.
  • The second part of the evaluation for oral mucosal lesions in the examination. The exam should include extra-oral and intra-oral examinations.
  •  The biggest difference between oral surface lesions and soft tissue enlargement is the depth or thickness of the problematic area.
  • 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.
  • When an oral mucosal lesion is biopsied and found to be cancerous, surgical removal of the lesion and nearby lymph nodes is indicated.

CYSTS OF JAW

Image
  A cyst is a   pathological cavity   lined by   epithelium   containing   fluid or semi-fluid   contents. Cysts are common in the  jaw bones  as these bones contain epithelium left after  tooth development . Cysts of the jaw can be classified into two main groups:  odontogenic cysts  (cysts lined by odontogenic epithelium, i.e. epithelium derived from the dental lamina) and  non-odontogenic cysts  (cysts lined by other types of epithelium).   The classification of common jaw cysts. Odontogenic cysts Non-odontogenic cysts Radicular cyst Dentigerous cyst Odontogenic keratocyst Lateral periodontal cyst Nasolabial cyst Nasopalatine cyst Solitary bone cyst Aneurysmal cyst Radicular cysts Radicular cysts are the  most common type  of jaw cyst. They are always found in association with a  non-vital  tooth.  Radicular can be classified depending upon their  location  in relation...

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...
