    Study Notes

    Reactive Growths in Gingiva

    • Occur exclusively in gingival soft tissue.
    • Present as pink/red nodules, typically found in interdental papilla.
    • More common in females; peak incidence during the second decade of life.
    • Treatment involves local excision down to the periosteum and scaling of teeth.

    Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma

    • Reactive growth that appears as red/blue/purple nodules.
    • Can occur across a broad age range and is exclusive to gingiva/ridge.
    • Treatment includes local excision down to the bone and scaling of teeth.

    Transient Lingual Papillitis

    • Characterized by temporary elongation of filiform papillae due to keratin accumulation.
    • May discolor as a result of external factors such as tobacco or bacterial pigments.
    • Recommended treatment includes tongue brushing and addressing contributing factors.

    Cysts

    • Defined as pathologic cavities lined by epithelium.
    • Common types include lymphoepithelial cysts of the tongue and mucoceles of the lip.
    • Mucoceles arise from mucin spillage into soft tissue due to ruptured salivary ducts, often leading to recurrent swelling with periodic rupture.

    Reactive Lesions

    • Fibromas and lipomas can develop in response to local irritation or trauma, commonly found on the buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, tongue, and gingiva.
    • Often associated with denture irritation, leading to lesions on the gingiva.

    General Treatment Approach

    • Surgical excision is the primary method of treatment for various reactive growths and cysts.
    • Addressing local factors like oral hygiene is crucial in treating reactive lesions and maintaining oral health.
