Study Notes
Pathophysiology of the Head and Neck: Oral Cavity and Inflammatory Lesions
- Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body, dentin contains cells that can produce new dentin
- Dental caries, caused by acids produced from the metabolism of sugars by plaque bacteria, is the most common cause of tooth loss
- Gingivitis is inflammation of the gingiva caused by the accumulation of dental plaque, which can lead to periodontitis
- Periodontitis is inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth, resulting in loss of attachment and associated complications
- Fibrous proliferative disorders like irritation fibroma and pyogenic granuloma are common nodular oral masses that require surgical excision
- Aphthous ulcers, also known as canker sores, are shallow ulcerations on the oral mucosa that can be painful and recurrent
- Glossitis is inflammation of the tongue, which can be caused by trauma, infection, or vitamin deficiencies
- The oral mucosa is highly resistant to infection by normal bacterial flora due to various defenses
- Most bacterial infections in the oral cavity are related to immunodeficiency or other underlying conditions
- Oral manifestations of systemic diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and diabetes, can occur and may be associated with increased risk for developing chronic diseases
- Tumors and precancerous lesions can also occur in the oral cavity, requiring further evaluation and treatment
- Overall, understanding the pathophysiology of the head and neck, specifically the oral cavity, is crucial for diagnosing and managing various conditions and diseases.
