Pseudomembranous, aka thrush
-
Gingival diseases of fungal origin
- Common in immunocompromised patients caused by disease (HIV etc) or medication (steroids etc).
- Seen in patients where normal flora is disrupted (opportunistic).
- Most common oral fungal infection is Candidiasis.
- a. Common under prosthetic devices.
- b. White patches on gingiva, tongue, or oral mucous membranes. Can be easily wipe off.
- c. Diagnosis of candida infection can be made by culture, smear or biopsy.
- Histoplasmosis.
- Treat w/ common anti-fungi drugs.
-
Herpetic gingivostomatitis
- HSV-1
- children
- vesicle formation,
- fever,
- gingival inflammation
- Acute onset (severe or not, depending on the patient and dose of virus exposed to)
- vesicles are contagious
- Latency in ganglia
-
Herpetic gingivostomatitis - oral symptoms
- Generalized “soreness” of the oral cavity
- Ruptured vesicles are the focal sites of pain
- Eating, drinking, oral hygiene affected
-
Secondary Herpetic gingivostomatitis
- Stimuli: sunlight, trauma, fever, stress
- Herpes labialis
- palate, gingiva , mucosa
- pain away from the site of stimuli 2 to 4 days later
-
HIV-related periodontal disease
- Oral Signs & Symptoms
- Candidiasis
- Lymphadenopathy
- Viral Lesions
-
Oral Hairy Leukoplakia (HL)
- White lesions
- Primarily found on lateral border of tongue.
- Surface of lesion can be smooth or corrugated & does
- not rub off.
- Most likely a viral induced lesion
-
Oral Hairy Leukoplakia (HL)
- White lesions
- Primarily found on lateral border of tongue.
- Surface of lesion can be smooth or corrugated & does
- not rub off.
- Most likely a viral induced lesion. 99% HIV related
-
HIV-related periodontal diseases

- Focal eipthelial hyperplasia
-
HIV-related neoplastic lesions
- Kaposi Sarcoma
- Malignant lesion arising from lymphatic or
- vascular endothelium.
-
HIV associated gingivitis (HIV-G) or (LGE)
- Linear Gingival Erythema.
- 1. Persistent & easily bleeding.
- 2. Lesions can be localized or generalized.
- 3. May be limited to marginal tissues.
- 4. Can also extend into attached gingiva and into alveolar mucosa.
- 5. Oral candida identified with LGE.
- 6. Some LGE lesions may undergo spontaneous
- remission.
-
HIV associated periodontitis (HIV-P) - Treatment
- 1. Mechanical debridement.

-
Muco-cutaneous disorders: desquamative gingivitis
- Tissue peeling off
- Lichen Planus - T cells involved
- BMMP - Benign mucus membrane pemphigoid. Targets B cells
- Pemphigus Vulgaris
-
Most common additive in toothpaste is cinnamon flavoring and can cause
desquamative gingivitis
-
must do immunofluorescence biopsy on intact tissue to diagnose or differentiate between
Lichen planus and BMMP
-
desquamative gingivitis - Treatment:
- Eliminate etiology
- Steroids
- 1.Topical
- 2.Intra-lesional
- 3.Systemic
- Appropriate referral to medical specialist
