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.
