Table of Common Oral Conditions (read niyo na lang yung pdf under M6 Deviation from the Normal Lesson 1 Part 3-2 for better viewing kasi panget pag tinable sobra haba) It goes without saying that before any abnormalities can be identified, it is necessary to have a working familiarity not only with the normal appearance of all these tissues in health, but also with the variations of a normal presentation that are not indicative of a significant problem. With this in mind, clinicians and dental students should periodically refresh their memory of the soft tissue lesions which might be encountered in and around the oral tissues, their etiology and presentation, and their management. The soft tissues can reveal several matters of health importance: Within the mouth fibrous cheek lines tell us that you may be grinding your teeth. Grinding can be very destructive and result in complete unsalvageable breakdown of teeth which are heavily filled Inflamed or bleeding gums indicate that you have gum disease. Apart from loss of teeth, gum disease is performing a complete oral examination. Knowledge of clinical characteristics such as size, location, surface morphology, color, pain, and duration is helpful in establishing a diagnosis. Monitoring the health of the oral soft tissues presents clinicians with a particular challenge because of the relative lack of objective measures to facilitate meaningful comparisons from one examination to another. This makes the soft tissue examination very different from orthodontic monitoring (where study models can be used), or the monitoring of caries or periodontal disease. Furthermore, caries and periodontal disease are more prevalent than the pathology affecting the oral soft tissues, and it is perhaps not surprising that historically, these diseases have been the focus of the greatest attention. Most clinical records tend to contain information about the status of the M6 Lesson 2: Sequence of teeth and restorations than of the Examination, Evaluation & Diagnosis periodontal tissues, and in turn, more information about the periodontal tissues than about the health of the soft tissues in and around the mouth. What is a Soft Tissue Intraoral Exam? The intraoral soft tissue examination includes checking the soft tissues of the mouth, the throat, the tongue and the gums. A consistent, reproducible approach should be taken, examining each of the tissues in turn, and recording the findings individually Recognition and diagnosis require (from the tongue, lips, palate, floor of taking a thorough history and mouth, retromolar area, etc). Any unusual presentation should be noted, opinion. A picture can also assist the which may take the form of changes specialist team to prioritize patients. in: 1. Colour (inflammatory changes, dark or pale appearance, white patches or other discolouration). 2. Surface profile/texture (for example, swelling, ulceration, induration, loss of normal roughness/smoothness). 3. Shape and anatomical features (for example, loss of papillae, asymmetry, etc).

The Dentist will examine both third parties to whom the patient areas visually, and shine a light in the might be referred for a second throat, to look for anomalies. 4. Tongue reveal tenderness that could be the result of infection or inflammation. The top of the tongue will be examined first, followed by the sides From PPT of the tongue. The tip of the tongue will be held with a piece of soft gauze and the tongue will be moved gently from one side to the other. The Dentist is looking for swelling or palpated areas, and possibly ulcers. The tissue in this area should be soft. The underside of the tongue will also be examined. Particular attention is paid to the sides of the tongue and the floor of the mouth, as cancers develop in these areas more frequently than on the top of the tongue or the palate. Oral cancers may have the appearance of ulcers, masses, red areas, or white areas. 5. Floor of the Mouth Now the clinician will examine the floor of the mouth. He or she may feel the saliva glands, which usually feels ropey or lobulated. A salivary stone in this area would feel hard. This examination is not painful, but it is a slightly odd feeling. 6. Gingiva and Alveolar Mucosa Finally, the clinician will examine the gums, which are called the gingiva. Healthy gingiva is pink, and regular. Some abnormalities include generalized or localized swelling, redness, ulceration or bleeding. The clinician may also palpate the area over the jaws to check for lumps and bumps. This examination may also Module 7: Examination of Periodontium The dental health professional has a role of preventing the spread of tooth decay to maintain the oral health of our patient. While preventing tooth decay, these professionals are also tasked to help patients avoid gingivitis. It is recognised that a healthy mouth decreases the risk of serious health problems. Oral conditions strongly impact the overall health of an individual. By understanding the supporting structures of the teeth, clinicians can thereby prevent and halt the spread of gum disease. taken, it means that which is "around the tooth The periodontium is composed of the gingiva, alveolar mucosa, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. These components serve to support the teeth in their alveolar bone. SUBTITLE SUB SUBTITLE M7: Lesson 1 - Anatomy of the Periodontium In order for the dental clinician to understand the disease process affecting the periodontium, it is important to know and understand the periodontal structures and its Gingiva function. The periodontium includes the investing and supporting tissues of the teeth, and it consists of the The gingiva constitutes the visible attachment apparatus and the part of the periodontium. It surrounds dentogingival unit. The primary the tooth necks and covers the functions of the periodontium are to alveolar bone. allow the tooth to be attached to the bone and to provide a barrier for the underlying structures from the oral microflora. Periodontium Refers to the specialized tissues that both surround and support the teeth maintaining The gingiva is divided into three parts: them in the maxillary and Free gingiva - Unattached mandibular bones. coronal portion of the from the Greek terms peri-, marginal gingiva. meaning "around“ odons, meaning "tooth.“ Literally Interdental Papilla - Located between the proximal surfaces beneath contact points Free Gingival Groove - Demarcates the free gingiva from the adjacent attached gingiva (COL - saddle-like depression joining 2 pyramid-shaped papilla) Alveolar Bone The alveolar bone surrounds the tooth and holds it in place. Periodontal Ligament Attached Gingiva It ensures that the tooth is attached firmly to the alveolus. Consists of stippled tissues tightly bound down to the underlying bone and cementum of the tooth and Cementum extends from the free gingival groove to the mucogingival junction which Serves to anchor the tooth. demarcates it from the alveolar mucosa. Gingival Sulcus Potential space encircling the tooth sulcus with depth varying from 0.5-3mm. M7 Lesson 2 Examination of Periodontium Examination can also be done through radiograph. As part of the overall treatment plan, periodontic examination should be performed to assess the periodontal status of the patient. Basic periodontal probing should be carried out to appraise problems arising from the periodontium since this will set the indication for the future treatment plan. Periodontal probing measures pocket depths, the width of keratinized gingiva, and the amount of attached gingiva and establishes a bleeding index. However, this RADIOGRAPHIC SURVEY procedure should be confined to fully erupted teeth. Check for: Height and form of interdental Adolescents are the most common alveolar bone crest age group affected with periodontal Lamina dura disease. Furthermore, recent studies Status of interradicular areas indicate that teenagers suffer tooth Overhanging margins loss due to periodontal disease. Width of periodontal ligament Therefore a thorough evaluation of space the supporting structures is necessary.

For some, they may experience bad breath, pain during mastication, and a consistent Surface palpation and light bad taste in the mouth. If left rubbing will reveal the degree of untreated, periodontal disease may stippling and some extent the degree contribute to the susceptibility of an individual to systemic health concerns. CDC reported that apart from tooth decay, periodontal disease is the two biggest threats to dental health. It is also revealed that in the United States, periodontal disease is more common in men than women (56.4% vs 38.4%), those living below the federal poverty level (65.4%), those with less than a high school education (66.9%), and current smokers (64.2%). Certain factors increase the risk for periodontal disease: Central or peripheral cyanosis Acute inflammations Smoking Metallic pigmentation Diabetes Tissue necrosis - gray Poor oral hygiene discoloration Stress Heredity Crooked teeth Underlying immuno-deficiencies—e.g., AIDS Fillings that have become defective Taking medications that cause (Tissue necrosis) dry mouth Bridges that no longer fit properly FINDINGS IN DISEASE (PRINCIPAL CLINICAL CHANGES) ALTERED COLOR An initial bright red erythema is usually associated with inflammation (Addison’s disease) and if it will not worsen will revert back to its original healthy color. Acute inflammation gives rise to a bright red erythematous discoloration Plaques and necrotic tissue may also alter the color Toothpaste and drugs Grayish slough easily removed suggests necrosis with pseudomembrane formation indicates ANUG (Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Anemia Gingivitis) Polycythemia Addison’s disease (abnormal melanin formation GINGIVAL BLEEDING EVEN WITH CLINICAL ATTACHMENT LOSS GENTLE PROBING Below CEJ One of the earliest sign of From CEJ to junctional gingival inflammation epithelium Precedes change in color or any other visual signs of inflammation Indicated and epithelial and connective tissue inflammatory lesion ALTERED GINGIVAL FORM Loss of stippling Loss of knife-edge free PERIODONTAL DISEASE gingival margins Rounded interdental papilla Periodontal disease ranges from simple and early inflammation of marginal gingiva to advanced gingivitis and subsequently periodontitis. Inflammation of gingiva by bacteria is the most common cause. The primary cause of gingival inflammation and INCREASED SULCULAR DEPTH periodontal destruction is bacterial plaque. More than 3mm DENTAL PLAQUE Dental plaque is a resilient yellow-grayish substance that adheres to the intra-oral hard surfaces, including the prosthesis.
