Tx: supportive (analgesics)

13
Q

How long must lesions be present to be considered potentially cancerous?

A

2weeks

14
Q

Oral Candidiasis

  • etiology
  • sx
  • tx
A

etiology: candida sp from prolonged abx use, immunocompromised pts, and neonates.
sx: white plaques on tongue/oral mucosa, “burning tongue”, “raw throat”

Tx: topical fungal: clotrimazole or nystatin

oral: fluconazole (diflucan)

15
Q

Hairy tongue

-what is this?

A

-elongation of filiform papillae, coloration of black hairy tongue is d/t tobacco, food, or infection with chromogenic organisms (MC fungi)

16
Q

Aphthous stomatitis

  • aka
  • etiology
  • management
A

Aka: canker sore

Etiology: autoimmune process, CMV, hormones, nutritional deficiencty (Vit B def)

Management: vit B12, stress relief, licorice, corticosteroids, folate, acidophilus, sucralfate

17
Q

Geographic tongue

  • sx
  • pathophys
A

sx: asymptomatic
pathophys: rapid loss and regrowth of filiform papillae causes denuded red patches to “wander” across the surface of the tongue.

18
Q

Oral leukoplakia

  • pathophysiology
  • sx
  • tx
A

patho: benign epithelial hyperplasia (white growths along the side of the tongue)
sx: asymptomatic lesions on the lateral surfaces of the tongue
tx: acyclovir (zovirax)

19
Q

-etiology

A

etiology: tobacco, ETOH use, HPV

20
Q
