Study Notes
Oral Lesions
- Ulcers, cysts, abscesses, and areas of erosion occur below the mucosal surface.
- Blisters, pustules, hematomas, and plaques extend above the mucosal surface.
- Ecchymosis (bruising) is even with the mucosal surface.
Oral Conditions
- Leukoplakia appears as a white patch or area.
- Candidiasis is caused by a yeast-like fungal infection.
- Aphthous ulcer is another term for "canker sore."
- Cellulitis is characterized by severe pain and high fever due to inflammation.
- Glossitis is inflammation of the tongue.
- Geographic tongue is characterized by changes in the pattern on the tongue.
- Pernicious anemia occurs when the body cannot absorb vitamin B12.
Oral Cancers
- Leukemia is a cancer affecting blood-forming organs.
- Leukoplakia is a common precancerous lesion among smokeless tobacco users.
- Carcinoma is a malignant lesion in the epithelial tissue of the oral cavity.
Effects of Radiation Therapy
- Radiation caries are caused by lack of saliva.
- Xerostomia (dry mouth) refers to the lack of saliva.
Oral Conditions Associated with HIV/AIDS
- Hairy leukoplakia is frequently seen on the lateral border of the tongue in patients with HIV/AIDS.
- Kaposi's sarcoma presents as bluish, blackish, or reddish lesions on the skin or oral mucosa of patients with HIV/AIDS.
