Study Notes
- Mucosal erosion, excoriation, and ulcer are different types of mucosal defects.
- Ulcers can be single or multiple, recurrent or persistent.
- Diagnosis involves history, examination, differential diagnosis, special investigations, and diagnosis.
- Features of ulcer history that help with diagnosis include size, shape, site, and frequency.
- Risk factors for oral malignancy include age, smoking, alcohol, and Areca nut/Betel nut chewing.
- Persistent single ulcers can be caused by trauma, infection, drug reactions, or malignancy.
- GDP plays a major role in identifying and screening for malignant or potentially malignant disease.
- Recurrent single ulcers can be caused by trauma, infection, or radiation.
- Persistent multiple ulcers are unlikely to be malignant and may indicate an underlying systemic problem.
- Infective causes of oral ulcers are usually multiple and self-limiting, and may be associated with systemic features of infection.
