nicotine stomatitis
elevated White lesions with red in the center located on palate caused by smoking. inflammed openings of salivary glands. tx; stop smoking.

caused by allergic reaction to cinnamon oil in candy, gum, toothpaste, mouthwash. tx; remove allergen.
bulla
a large blister that is usually more than 5 cm in diameter. elevated and contains serous fluid.
Alveolar Osteitis (Dry Socket)
Post operative complication of tooth extraction; usually mandibular 3rd molars. Blood clot breaks down and is lost before healing has taken place.
pyogenic granuloma
pregnancy gingivitis or tumor. a reactive hyperplasia granulation tissue that forms due to local irritating factors or hormonal changes. a red ulcerated nodule attached to a base. bleeds spontaneously. common on gingiva. tx; remove bacteria. normally resolves on its own or can be surgically removed.
Lesions Associated with Cocaine Use
• Lesions located at the midline of the hard palate may vary from ulcers to keratotic lesions to exophytic reactive lesions as a result of smoking crack cocaine • Necrotic ulcers of the tongue and epiglottis have been reported as a result of free-basing cocaine.
Leukodema
white/opaque corrugated appearance of the buccal mucosa. cause: thickened epithelium due to edema. no TX.
leukoplakia
thickened, white, leathery-looking spots on the inside of the mouth that can develop into oral cancer. from chronic exposure to chemical carcinogens from tobacco. tx; stop smoking.
pigmentation
caused by abnormal amounts of melanin in the oral epithelium. appears as tan-brown pigmentation mostly on attached gingiva. NO tx.
fordyce granules
small, isolated, white or yellow papules commonly on buccal mucosa. No tx.
Macule
flat skin lesion with only a color change. ex; freckle.
frictional keratosis (linea alba, lip chewing)
Chronic rubbing or friction against an oral mucosa surface resulting in thickening of keratin on the surface. tx; remove all sources of irritation.
Epulis Fissuratum
hyperplastic tissue reaction caused by an ill-fitting or overextended flange in a denture. circumscribed pink nodule that appears as a trough. most common on max alveolar ridge and lingual of max alveolar ridge. tx; reline existing denture.
mucocele
local trauma to a minor salivary gland. saliva escapes into local connective tissue. circumscribed nodule typically blue in color. common on lower lip. tx; surgically remove.
Anesthetic necrosis
Localized ulceration that develops at the site of local anesthetic injection, usually with one containing epinephrine. tx; dont use epinephrine.
ranula
caused by a salivary duct stone. (sialolith). or trauma to the submandibular salivary gland. saliva escapes into floor of the mouth causing inflammation. appears as blue raised nodule in the floor of the mouth. tx; remove.
Residual cyst
forms when the tooth is removed and all or part of a periapical cyst is left behind.
erythroplakia
red patch in the oral cavity due to exposure to carcinogens from tobacco. TX; stop smoking.
Drug induced gingival hyperplasia
gingival enlargement caused by dilantin, calcium channel blockers, and cyclosporine. generalized pink nodular enlargement of attached gingiva. affects anterior facial of gingiva most often. tx; substitute another drug if possible.
Pedunculated
Attached by a stemlike or stalklike base similar to that of a mushroom.
papule
small, solid, raised lesion on surface of the skin. ex; mole.
fibroma
a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to trauma or irritation. solid, circumscribed, pink nodule. common on buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, gingiva. tx; surgically remove.
Lingual Varicosities
Prominent lingual veins. appear very dark blue/purple under tongue. commonly associated with aging. no tx.
phenol burn
• Used in dentistry as a cavity- sterilizing agent and a cauterizing agent • Will cause whitening and sloughing of the area as a result of tissue destruction
hematoma
a solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues. appears red, bluish gray.
plasma cell gingivitis
- Diffuse, bright red appearance of the attached gingiva. caused by an allergic reaction to chewing gum, toothpaste, etc. tx; remove all suspected allergens.
torus palatinus
a bony protuberance in the midline of the hard palate TX; can be removed.
Cellulitis (Ludwig's angina)
Infection of skin cells when an abscess does not drain. usually effects sublingual, submental, submandibular spaces. results in swelling of the mandible and neck. tx; extract carious tooth. drain abscess.
Inflammatory Papillary Hyperplasia
irritation from an ill fitting denture or infection with Candida albicans. most common on the palate, multiple red areas. TX; reline or remake denture. antifungals.
Lymphoid hyperplasia
reactive hyperplasia of lymphoid aggregates in response to an antigenic challenge. solitary or multiple circumscribed yellowish pink nodules. common on oropharynx, floor of mouth , palate.
Geographic tongue
unknown cause. hormone imbalance & stress can contribute. patches of red circled by patches of white. No tx unless its from fungal origin.
amalgam tattoo
A flat bluish-gray lesion of the oral mucosa that results from the introduction of amalgam particles into the tissues. no tX.
black hairy tongue
elongation of filiform papillae due to excessive keratin. the keratin becomes pigmented black due to bacteria or components in tobacco. TX; stop smoking. clean tongue.
Transient lingual papillitis
Common condition involving enlargement of a variable number of fungiform papillae on the anterior part of tongue. etiology unknown. can be caused by mechanical trauma, acidic foods, etc.
bulimia vs teeth
effects the lingual surface of the maxillary anterior teeth. appears as yellowish gray. caused by the acid touching teeth when throwing up.
Median Rhomboid Glossitis
An erythematous, often rhomboid-shaped, flat to raised area on the midline of the tongue. cause; can be fungal. tx; treat with fungal meds.
fissured tongue
unknown cause. can be a genetic defect. dry mouth can contribute to it. red mucosa, blunted papilla, deep fissures and grooves. TX; brush tongue.
smokers melanosis
irritants in tobacco cause melanocytes to make excess melanin. OR oral contraceptives. irregular, diffuse, dark brown areas on the anterior labial mucosa, buccal mucosa, palate. tx; stop smoking.
meth mouth
the decaying of teeth due to decreased saliva production in methamphetamine users, lack of oral hygiene, sugary foods.
self-induced injuries
chronic lip, cheek, or tongue biting and trauma to gingiva by fingernail.
aspirin burn
- Appears as a painful white area of epithelial necrosis -- May slough off and leave a large ulcer underneath.
Pustules
Variously sized circumscribed elevations containing pus.
solar cheilitis
sun exposure can result in degeneration of the tissue of the lips. vermillion of lips appears as pale pinkish and mottled strong relationship exists between it and development of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
foreign body gingivitis
damage to gums during prophylaxis. caused by prophy paste creating inflammation. tx; topical corticosteroid.
chronic hyperplastic pulpitis
- Pulp Polyp - Proliferation of inflamed pulp tissue - Often associated with large carious lesions in children or young adults
traumatic ulcer
injury to oral mucosa caused by biting, foods, tooth brushing, or any other injury to the tissue. looks like an ulcer surrounded by a red margin. surface is covered with yellow pseudomembrane.
Torus mandibularis
excess bone formations that are sometimes under the tongue on the alveolar bone. usually bilaterally symmetrical. can be removed if needed.

usually seen in infants and young children from biting on cords or sticking something in a socket. damages oral tissues and tooth buds. -plastic surgery -ortho
