Gingival Inflammation and Classification | Periodontics

  Inflammation of the gingiva is called gingivitis.   Gingivitis is usually mild and does not cause destruction of the attachment fibers and underlying bone. Untreated gingivitis can progress to serious periodontal diseases. CLASSIFICATION 1) ACCORDING TO DURATION ACUTE GINGIVITIS-  Sudden in onset, Short in duration and Painful in nature. CHRONIC GINGIVITIS-  Slow in onset, Long in duration and Mostly Painless. Most common type of gingivitis. 2) ACCORDING TO DISTRIBUTION LOCALIZED GINGIVITIS- Gingivitis when confined to the gingiva of a single tooth or group of teeth. GENERALIZED GINGIVITIS- Gingivitis which involves the entire gingiva of the mouth. MARGINAL GINGIVITIS- It involves the gingival margin and may include a portion of the contiguous attached gingiva. PAPILLARY GINGIVITIS- Gingivitis which mainly involves the interdental papillae and may extends into the adjacent portion of the gingival margin. DIFFUSE GINGIVITIS- It affects the gingival margi...

Viral infections

 The oral cavity can be targeted by a variety of viral pathogens (Tyring, 2006). While these viral infections are variable in severity, they are more virulent in individuals with compromised immune systems (Regezi, 2016). Viruses are biologically different than bacteria or fungi in that viruses are not capable of replication and proliferation by themselves. A virus particle, or virion, consists of a protective protein coat called a capsid that contains the viral genome.   The viral genome is encoded with either deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or ribonucleic acids (RNA), depending on the viral species. The capsid includes proteins that target specific cell types in specific species as well as mechanisms for entering into the target cell types. The host cell’s own protein machinery then replicates the virus’s genetic material and produces the viral proteins required for capsid formation encoded by the virus’s genome. This replicates the virus, allowing more copies to be released to...

Treating Oral Fungal Infection

  Dangers of Oral Fungal InfectionThe appearance of non-candidal oral fungal infections should be concerning, as the majority of these are caused by existing paranasal fungal infections (Scully, 2017b).    By the time these infections are noticed in the oral cavity, it is likely that significant damage has already occurred in other tissues. This requires the use of systemic antifungals such as fluconazole or ketoconazole.    Typically, following the identification of a non-candidal oral fungal infection, the patient should be referred to a physician or specialist, as surgical debridement may be required, and the integrity of the bone surrounding the nasal chambers will need to be evaluated.   Treatment of Fungal Infections   An alternative, aggressive treatment for deep fungal infections in the oral chamber and surrounding tissue is amphotericin B which can be used in conjunction with flucytosine and rifampin for infections that ...
