Notes
Soft palate is not part
of the oral cavity
Notes
Notes
Notes
2nd upper molar –
where parotid duct
drains
Notes
Transverse ridges/rugae –
helps to retain the food bolus
Soft palate – wide, mobile
and in conjunction with the
pharyngeal musculature,
seals off the nasopharynx to
prevent nasal regurgutation
during deglutition and nasal
air emission during speech

Mostly affects the
children
Children – usually
febrile, have difficulty
in sleeping
Notes
Notes
Virus lies dormant in
the trigeminal
ganglion and when
reactivated, travels
along the peripheral
sensory nerves to
involve the
oropharyngeal
mucosa

Notes
Similar ulcer and
necrotic lesions may
also form over the
tonsils

Aspirin burn – a
tablet of aspirin is
applied to a painful
tooth
NOTES:
Reticular- white striae; lace pattern in
buccal mucosa; asymptomatic; does
not require treatment
Erosive type- painful; TX: Topical
steroids
Chronic discoid lupus erythematous-
oral lesions are almost always
associated with skin lesions; oral
lesions are almost similar to erosive
type
NOTES:
Blood dyscrasia is due to lack of
defense mechanism like
granulocytes
Cyclical neutropenia- condition
with periodic falls on neutrophil
count when the person become
prone to infections and oral lesions
Pancytopenia- decrease in WBC,
RBC and platelet count
NOTES:
Recent studies suggest that
this condition can be due
to chronic candida
infection
NOTES:
Advice the patient. Assure
them that it is not something
serious.
NOTES:
One of the common causes
seen in OPD
NOTES:
• Treatment is very easy; release by
cutting; sometimes suturing is not
needed
• Very important because the
mobility and shape of the tongue is
needed for speaking
NOTES:
In the Philippines: “NGANGA”
NOTES:
• Palatine torus: more
common; present as narrow
range solitary nodule or
lobulated mass in the
midline of the hard palate
• Mandibular torus: project
from the lingual aspect of
gingiva near the bicuspid
area; bilateral
NOTES:
Usually located in the lip area
Surgery: can be done under
local anesthesia
NOTES:
• Very easy procedure but make
sure that you sutured it properly
after because the lip area is a
highly vascularized area, it can
bleed easily
NOTES:
• Ranula: a cystic translucent
lesion usually located in the
floor of the mouth, 1 side of
the frenulum, pushing the
tongue up; arises from the
sublingual due to the
obstruction of its ducts
• Marsupialisation- make an
incision, make a flap then
suture the sides at the corners
Notes
Notes
Nodular and Erosive types
have higher incidence of
malignant transformation
Notes
Notes
Notes
Red color is due to increased
vascularization resulting to
the red vascular connective
tissue to shine through.
Notes
Malignant Lesions
Notes
• Risk is 6 times more in smokers than
in non-smokers
• Powdered tobacco mixed with
lemon juice is placed on the
vestibule of the mouth. Carcinoma
may develop on those sites.
• Riboflavin deficiency is a risk factor
in cancer development, especially in
alcoholics.
• Sharp teeth and ill-fitting dentures
can cause chronic irritation that can
develop to cancer.

Submandibular aka sentinel
nodes.

Treatment:
Stage 1: surgical incision
Stage 2: incision + radiotherapy(
If bone is involved, segmental
mandibulectomy or marginal
mandibulectomy can be done)
Stage 3 to 4: Wide surgical
resection with reconstruction
then post-op radiotherapy.

Patient may present with

Surgical resection is the
preferred method of
treatment for T2N0
Notes
ComMando Operation
(Composite Mandibulectomy)
– removal of the lining of the
mouth and jaw
Notes
Notes
Starts with no symptoms
except for an irregular lump
in the mouth
Notes
Notes
Notes
Notes
Lesions of the floor of the mouth
can be asymptomatic for a long
period of time.
Swelling of the submandibular
lesion may be either due to
obstructive enlargement of the
salivary glands or lymph node
metastasis. Distinction is
necessary.

Surgery alone is not
recommended. It should be in
