Study Notes
Hyperplasia
- Characterized by increased cell proliferation in response to stimuli, such as chronic or low-grade infections.
- Cells remain normal in structure despite the increase in quantity.
- Hyperplasia can revert to normal upon removal of the stimulus affecting it.
Neoplasia
- Defined as an irreversible growth of tissue, commonly referred to as tumors.
- Involves uncontrolled and abnormal cell growth.
- Neoplasia can be classified into two types: benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous).
Connective Tissue Hyperplasia of Oral Mucosa
- Localized hyperplastic lesions in the oral mucosa are frequently observed.
- Chronic inflammation plays a pivotal role in connective tissue hyperplasia.
- Inflammation and tissue repair occur concurrently during this process, often leading to the formation of granulation tissue.
- The presence of granulation tissue indicates an active disease process linked to hyperplasia in the oral mucosa.
