    Study Notes

    Frictional Hyperkeratosis

    • A white lesion with a roughened keratotic surface caused by chronic mechanical irritation.
    • It is reversible after eliminating the trauma.
    • It should not be mistaken for true leukoplakia.
    • It is a result of the body's protective response to friction.
    • Non-keratinized epithelium responds with acanthosis and keratinization.
    • Keratinized epithelium responds with additional keratin formation.

    Focal Hyperkeratosis

    • A specific type of hyperkeratosis localized to a specific area.
    • Can be caused by tongue-thrusting habits.
    • Can be caused by cheek biting.
    • May be caused by chronic rubbing of the lip against teeth which is categorized as Linea Alba

    Chemical Trauma

    • Can be caused by topical application of acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin Burn).
    • Can be caused by the use of spit tobacco (Snuff Dipper's Pouch Hyperkeratosis).

    Neoplasm

    • A new mass of tissue with abnormal and uncontrolled growth.
    • Neoplasms are classified as either benign or malignant.
    • Neoplasms can be central (involving the root of the tooth) or peripheral (involving the soft tissues around the tooth).

    Site

    • Neoplasms can be classified based on the tissue they involve.
    • Cysts are filled with fluids.
    • Soft tissue Neoplasms contain soft tissue.
    • Calcified tissue Neoplasms contain bone or cementum.
    • Mixed Neoplasms involve multiple types of tissue.

    Symptoms

    • Pain can be sharp, indicating acute inflammation, or dull, indicating chronic inflammation.
    • Paresthesia is an abnormal sensation, such as tingling or burning.
    • Numbness indicates a loss of sensation.
    • Tenderness indicates pain on digital pressure.

    Neoplasia vs. Hyperplasia

    • Neoplasia has a spontaneous etiology, while hyperplasia has identifiable causes such as trauma or low-grade irritation.
    • Neoplasia is capable of unlimited proliferation, which hyperplasia is not.
    • Neoplasia does not regress after removing the cause, while hyperplasia can regress.

    Duration

    • Acute inflammation has a short duration of days, while malignant neoplasms take months.
    • Benign neoplasms or reactive conditions can take years.

    Character of Growth

    • Slow growth is characteristic of benign neoplasms or reactive conditions, while fast growth indicates malignant neoplasms.

    Signs

    • Shape, surface texture, base, color, borders, and number are all characteristics that help define neoplasms.

    Shape

    • Flat surface lesions include macules, patches, and plaques.
    • Depressed surface lesions include ulcers and erosions.
    • Elevated surface lesions include papules, papillomatous growths, verruca, nodules, and submucosal masses.

    Surface Texture

    • Surface texture can be smooth or rough, depending on the type of neoplasm.

    Base

    • Neoplasms can be sessile (attached by a broad base) or pedunculated (attached by a narrow stalk).

    Color

    • White lesions can be caused by hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, spongiosis, or fibrosis.
    • Red lesions are caused by increased vascularity, thin overlying epithelium, or hemorrhage.
    • Brown lesions are caused by melanin pigments.

    Borders and Number

    • Well-defined borders are typically associated with benign tumors, while irregular borders are associated with malignant neoplasms.
    • Solitary lesions can be benign or malignant, while multiple lesions are more likely to be malignant.

    Histopathology

    • The microscopic examination of tissues can help identify the type of neoplasm.

    Normal Oral Mucosa

    • The oral mucosa can be keratinized (gingiva and hard palate) or non-keratinized (lining of the cheek and floor of the mouth).
    • Keratinized mucosa has four layers: basal cell layer, spinous cell layer, granular cell layer, and surface keratin layer.
    • Non-keratinized mucosa has: stratum basal, stratum intermedia, and stratum superficial.

    Basal Cell Layer

    • The basal cell layer contains stem cells that can differentiate into different cell types, including squamous cells and keratin.

    Spinous Cell Layer

    • The spinous cell layer contains polyhydral cells that are adherent to each other by desmosomal junctions.
    • The cells mature toward the surface as they move away from the basal cell layer.

    Acanthosis & Hyperkeratinization

    • Acanthosis is an increase in the number of cells in the spinous cell layer.
    • Hyperkeratosis is an excessive thickening of the keratin layer, which can be categorized as orthokeratin or parakeratin.

    Epithelial Hyperplasia

    • Acanthosis and hyperkeratinization are both examples of epithelial hyperplasia.
    • Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in a tissue.
