-
bulla
A rounded prominence, a bubblelike cavity filled with air or fluid, in particular.
-
Cratered papillae
A depression in the gum tissue, especially in the area of the former apex of interdental papilla. It is commonly caused by necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and food impaction against the tissue subjacent to the contact areas of adjacent teeth
-
droplet nuclei
Airborne transmission refers to infectious agents that are spread via droplet nuclei (residue from evaporated droplets) containing infective microorganisms. These organisms can survive outside the body and remain suspended in the air for long periods of time
-
enamel hypoplasia
Incomplete or defective formation of the enamel of either primary or permanent teeth. The result may be an irregularity of tooth, form, color, or surface
-
fremitus (degrees involved)

-
Infectious agent
An infectious agent is something that infiltrates another living thing. There are four main classes of infectious agents: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
-
McCall's festoons
A ring-shaped enlargement of the gingival margin on the vestibular surface (buccal or labial) of canines and premolars. It may be associated with occlusal trauma.
-
Mode of transmission
A method of transmission is the movement or the transmission of pathogens from a reservoir to a susceptible host. Once a pathogen has exited the reservoir, it needs a mode of transmission to the host through a portal of entry. Transmission can be by direct or indirect contact or through airborne transmission.
-
nodule

-
pustule
A small pimple or swelling, containing puss
-
Reservoir
Typically harbors the infectious agent without injury to itself and serves as a source from which other individuals can be infected
-
Susceptible host
A member of a population who is at risk of becoming infected by a disease
-
Ulcer
An open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal
-
Vesicle
