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.
