what causes caries?
destruction of calcified tissue by acid producing bacteria
what types of cares do kids get?
pits and fissure caries in the posterior mouth on occusal surfaces
what type of caries do older people get?
root surface caries due to gingival recession which exposes dentin at the root
other than older pts what other population gets root surface caries?
meth users
tooth pain with stimulant
reversible pulpitis
tooth pain at random times (without stimulant)
irreversible pulpitis
where does the infection spread to with dental caries?
through the root canal to the periapical tissues
what is Ludwig's angina?
a carie infection on the floor of the mouth that can obstruct the airway or infect the mediastinum
what is cavernous sinus thrombosis?
a carie derrived infection in the maxilla that can spread to the brain - very dangerous
what does fluoride do?
it strengthens enamel when given during tooth development
what is the imporant defense against caries?
saliva - helps butter bacteria acids and contains IgA and other bacteriostatic factors
what increases the incidence of caries?
xerostomia
red, puffy gums
gingivitis
red puffy gums with a red-lining near the tooth line
gingivits seen in AIDS

chronic inflammation initiated by dental plaque and tartar
painless, bleeding gums ith horizontal bone loss that is a slow process
periodontitis
where does periodontal diseaes occur?
at the gingival sulcus
what is the most common cuase of tooth loss in adults over 40yoa?
periodontal disease
how does periodontal disease result in tooth loss?
it destroys the periodontal ligament and alverolar bone which looses the support for the teeth
what causes acute necrotizing ulcreative gingivitis?
presence of a fusiform bacillus with a spirochete (borrelia vincentii)
painful, malodorous "punched out" ulceration on the gingiva
acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis

acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis ulcers that extend to the tonsillar pillars
What is NOMA?
acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivits that has gone out of hand - can ulcerate thorugh the face
what disease usually preceeds NOMA?
measles
what population is NOMA seen in?
chemo patients and in 3rd world countries
what are the populations at risk for candidiasis?
1. drugs (antibiotics and immune suppressants), 2. DM, 3. Debilitation, 4. Dentures, 5. Dryness
softened slighlty elevated white patches on the mucosal surface which can be scraped off leaving behind a raw bleeding surface
Candidiasis
what can mimic candidiasis?
oral hairy leukoplakia - usually seen on lateral tongue
what is angular chilitis?
candidiasis in elderly patients with infection at the corners of the mouth
what form of Candida causes disease?
hyphae
a pt has recurrent candidiasis that haven't responded to treatment. What must be considered?
a endocrine syndrome: 1. hypothyroidism, 2. hypoparathyroidism, 3. Addison's, 4. DM
young kid with ulcers on fixed and non-fixed mucosa with a fever, lymphadenopathy and malaise
primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
where are primary herpetic gengivostomatitis lesions found?
fixed and non-fixed mucosa
painful intraepithelial vesicles which rupture and become crusted
secondary herpetic lesion
where do the secondary herpetic lesions form?
vermillion border or on FIXED oral mucosa
Histology: ballooning degeneration of epithelial cells
herpes
What are Lipshutz bodies?
eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions found in herpes
what is the Tzanck preparation?
a smear of vesicular fluid shows multinucleated giant cells, seen in herpes infections
what 3 drugs can induce gingival overgrowth?
phenatoin, Ca channel blockers and cyclosporine
what is the etiology of aphthous stomatitis?
immune dysfunction - incrased CD8, decreased CD4
painful round, crateriform necrotizing ulcerations outlined by an erythematous ring and covered by gray pseudomembrane
aphthous stomatits
where do aphthous stomatitis occur?
non-fixed mucosa only (unlike herpes which is on fixed)
what disease is characterized by pain disproportional to size?
aphthous stomatits
what is peridenitis mucosa necrotica recurrens?
Major aphthous: large painful persistent canker sores that develop around salivary glands and produce scarring
what is Behcet's syndrome?
a variant of aphthmous stomatitis: recurrent cankers associated with genital ulcers and uveitits/conjunctivitis

epulis fissuratum
pebbly gingival surface covered by denture on facial aspect, some times with a groove
epulis fissuratum
what is Fibroepithelial polyp?
an epulis fisusratum that is on the roof of the mouth so that as it grows it is compressed by the denture and is 'leaf' like

peripheral gaint cell granuloma
what is the location peripheral giant cell granuloma lesions?
Gingiva ONLY on the mandible > maxilla
do you need intact teeth to form a peripheral cell granuloma?
