| Acute Osteomylitis | acute inflmmation of the bone marrow and bone. result of a periapical abcess, may result from bacteremia |
| Acute Osteomyelitis Diagnosis | nonviable bone, necrotic debris, acute inflammation, bacterial colonies in marrow spaces |
| Acute Osteomyelitis Diagnosis | drainage of purulent exudate, antibiotics |
| Chronic Osteomyelitis | long standing inflammation of bone, bone painful and swollen, radiographs reveal a diffuse and irregular radiolucency that can become opaque |
| Treatment of Chronic Osteomylitis | debridment, administration of systemic antibiotics, some patients require hyperbaric treatment |
| Candidiasis | result from antibiotics, cancer chemotherapy, coritocsteriod therapy, dentures, diabetes, HIV infection, infancy, etc. Can be identified by scraping of the lesion |
| Pseudomembranous Candidiasis | white curdlike material on mucosal surface, mucosa is erythematous, burning sensation or metallic taste |
| Erythematous Candidiasis | erythematous often painful mucosa, can be localized or generalized |
| Denture Stomatitis (Chronic Atropic Candidiasis) | most common type, mucosa is erythematous, coomon on palate and maxillary ridge, size depends on partial or denture |
| Chronic Hyperplastic Candidiasis (Candidal Leukoplakia) | white lesion that does not wipe off, responds to antifungal medication, if it doesn't respond to medication it should be biopsied |
| Angular Cheilitis | erythema or fissuring at the labial commisures |
| Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis | occurs in pt.'s that are severly immunocompromised, the pt. has chronic oral and genital mucosal candidasis as well as skin lesion |
| Median Rhomboid Glossitis | erythematous often rhomboid shaped, flat, to raised area on the midline of the posterior portion of dorsal surface |
| Diagnosis and Treatment of Median Rhomboid Glossitis | mucosal smear is obtained and sent to the labratory, can be persistent and recurrent, may be a sign of a severe medical problem |
| Deep Fungal Infections | oral lesions are a result of this. May involve the lungs and there is a regional distribution of the lesions |
| Mucormycosis (Phycomycosis) | rare fungal infection, occur with diabectic and debilitated patients, can be a proliferating or destructive mass in the maxilla |
| Verruca Vulgaris (Common Wart) | papillary oral lesion. transferred from skin to oral mucosa by finger sucking or fingernail biting, white, papillary exophytic lesion that resembles a papilloma |
| Condyloma Acuminatum | benign lesion caused my HPV, transmitted by sexual contact, papillary bulbous pink masses that can occur anywhere in the oral mucosa |
| Focal Epithelial Hyperplasia (Heck Disease) | multiple whiteish to pale pink nodules distrubuted throughout the oral mucosa, more common in children, resolves itself in a few weeks. |
| Type 1 Herpes Simplex is caused by what? | oral infections |
| Type 2 Herpes Simplex is caused by what? | genital infections |
| Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis | painful, erythematous, and swollen gingiva and multiple tiny vesicles on perioral skin, vermillion boarder of lips and oral mucosa. Progress to form ulcers. occurs in chrildren |
