A Comprehensive Review on Classification of Oral Ulcerative Lesions| Stephy Publishers
SOJ Dental and Oral Disorder - (SOJDOD) | Stephy Publishers
Abstract
A brief overview of the
superficial oral lesion
Objectives:
Oral mucosal lesions
are a broad group of lesions which are located in the soft tissues of the oral
cavity identified by its specific etiology, clinical manifestations,
differential diagnosis and treatment. White lesions of the oral cavity
constitute a rather common group of lesions that are encountered during routine
clinical dental practice. The process of clinical diagnosis and treatment
planning is of great concern to the patient as it determines the prognosis.
There should be in-depth knowledge to the consultant about the varied clinical
features, etiology of the disease and various treatment plans. Clinical
diagnostic skills and ideal judgment forms the key to successful management of
white lesions of the oral cavity
This review will
discuss many of the most common intraoral white lesions including their
clinical presentation, how to make an accurate diagnosis
Keywords

Introduction
Oral lesions are a
common clinical finding that we encounter day to day in clinics. Lesion may
have varied features ranging from a small macular region to a white plaque or a
patch. The lesion may have various forms of clinical features that include its
colour, its presentation, flat or raised lesions and its different
morphological forms. Surface of the lesion which may appear to be smooth, rough
and corrugated surface. Diagnostic dilemma occurs to the practioners as the
lesions presents with various specific clinical and morphological features. As
a general practioners and interns we should be aware of the superficial oral
lesions that may appear in the oral cavity and have sufficient knowledge and
awareness to diagnose such lesions and if they appear suspected may send them
for investigations.1
Diagnostic Challenge
A thorough patient
history is important for diagnosis. For example, a history of heavy smoking,
consumption of tobacco, arecanut etc. Possibility of a systemic condition
should also be considered; for example, use of a medication known to cause a
lichenoid reaction along with skin lesions suggests oral lichen planus. On
examination, the location, and surface and sub epithelial characteristics of
lesions are important factors in diagnosis.2
White lesions of the
oral cavity (category wise in the decreasing order of frequency.

The clinical examination
to identify a lesion an oral condition and systematic approach to diagnose a
lesion its specific characteristics may help in diagnosing an oral mucosal
lesion. The examination of soft tissues in paediatricpatients involves
knowledge of normal size, shape, colour, and texture of the structures that
comprise it. The correct exploration of the oral mucosa can provide important
tools in diagnosing developmental, neoplastic, infectious, or inflammatory
alterations.
