Study Notes
Oral Diseases and Conditions: Etiology, Clinical Characteristics, and Treatment
- Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivostomatitis presents with pain, bleeding, foul odor, and may lead to lymphadenitis and systemic symptoms.
- Treatment includes local therapy, systemic antibiotics, and periodontal surgery in severe cases, with a risk of recurrence.
- Acute Oral Moniliasis is caused by a yeast-like fungus, resulting in white plaques in the oral cavity.
- Treatment involves stopping antibiotics and using antifungal medication like Nystatin.
- Puberty Gingivitis may occur due to hormonal changes and nutritional deficiencies, usually regressing after puberty.
- Treatment involves proper oral hygiene, removal of local irritants, and adequate nutrition.
- Drug-induced Gingival Enlargement is associated with drugs like phenytoin, cyclosporin, and nifedipine, leading to compromised oral functions.
- Management includes oral hygiene measures, scaling, and polishing, with severe cases requiring gingivectomy.
- Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis is a rare type of gingival enlargement that may follow a familial pattern and lead to displacement of teeth.
- Treatment involves gingivectomy, with the possibility of recurrence.
- Traumatic Gingivitis results from rubbing or picking the gingiva, and resolves when the habit is corrected and the source of irritation is removed.
- Periodontitis may manifest as part of systemic diseases like Papillon Lefevre syndrome, characterized by severe gingival inflammation and bone loss.
- Papillon Lefevre syndrome reflects Cathepsin C deficiency, leading to exfoliation of both primary and permanent dentition.
