Study Notes
Oral Manifestations of Crohn's Disease
- Persistent linear and deep ulcers result in a cobblestone appearance in the oral cavity.
- Diffuse swelling may occur on the lips and face.
- Indurated, polypoid tag-like lesions can develop in the vestibule.
Dental Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Frequent preventive and routine dental care is essential for monitoring oral health.
- Diagnosis of oral lesions should focus on inflammatory or granulomatous features.
- Palliative treatments include sodium bicarbonate rinses and topical corticosteroids such as 0.05% Fluosinolide.
- For lesions extending to the oropharynx, dexamethasone elixir (0.5mg/5ml) can be used as a gargle.
Gastritis Overview
- Gastritis is the inflammation of the gastric mucosa, often caused by H. pylori infection or the use of NSAIDs.
- Differentiated into acute (neutrophilic infiltration) and chronic forms (mononuclear infiltration and architectural loss).
- Atrophic gastritis results in loss of gastric glands, while erosive gastritis presents with superficial erosions.
Oral Manifestations of Ulcerative Colitis
- Patients may develop major and minor aphthous ulcers in the buccal mucosa and mucobuccal fold.
- Pyostomatitis vegetans is characterized by purulent inflammation, primarily affecting buccal and labial mucosa, sparing the tongue.
- Hairy leukoplakia may appear, often associated with HIV.
Crohn's Disease Characteristics
- An inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Presents with chronic mucosal inflammation and may exhibit extra-intestinal manifestations.
- Common symptoms include abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and fecal urgency.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Overview
- Includes Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and others like gastro-oesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer disorders.
- Clinical manifestations may result in malabsorption, genetic disorders, or metastatic diseases.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Characterized by symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation due to stomach contents refluxing into the esophagus.
- Risk factors include obesity, smoking, and consumption of caffeine or alcohol.
- Atypical symptoms may involve chest pressure, hoarseness, or chronic cough.
Clinical Features and Red Flags in GERD
- Typical symptoms include retrosternal burning pain, dysphagia, and regurgitation.
- Red flags necessitating gastroenterology referral: dysphagia, anemia, unintended weight loss, or GI bleeding signs.
Diagnostics in GERD
- Endoscopy (EGD) recommended for patients with red flags or no improvement after PPI therapy.
- Esophageal pH monitoring is not routinely used.
Treatment for GERD
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the standard pharmaceutical treatment.
- Lifestyle modifications include weight loss, avoiding triggers, and elevating the head of the bed.
Oral Manifestations of GERD
- Patients may experience altered taste (dysgeusia), mucosal erosion, atrophy, and xerostomia.
Dental Management for GERD
- Sodium bicarbonate mouth rinses are used to alleviate dysgeusia.
- Topical fluoride applications may help with tooth mineralization.
- Salivary substitutes are recommended for dry mouth, and adequate hydration should be encouraged.
Pernicious Anemia
- Caused by Vitamin B12 deficiency due to gastric mucosa atrophy, leading to a lack of intrinsic factor.
- Diagnosis involves checking serum B12 and methylmalonic acid levels.
Oral Manifestations of Pernicious Anemia
- Symptoms include an inflamed "beefy red" tongue, glossitis, glossodynia, and burning mouth sensations.
Folic Acid Deficiency Anemia
- Macrocytic anemia due to insufficient dietary folate, particularly in those lacking leafy vegetables.
