AbstractMucosal ulceration, dental disease and other tooth ab-normalities, oral soft tissue tumors, periodontal disease, bone pathology, and orofacial pain may be directly related to or confounded by underlying systemic disease. An un-derstanding of the relationship between systemic disease and oral pathology is important with respect to estab-lishing the diagnosis and determining the complexity of subsequent management. For example, dental caries that is confounded by nutritional deficiency or psychological problems such as bulimia or anorexia, or a medical prob-lem that directly or indirectly (via medication use) causes xerostomia, or a medical condition that alters the patient’s ability to maintain appropriate oral hygiene may need to be managed using a comprehensive strategy that takes into account the underlying medical issue as well as the dental issues. This course reviews such problems and their impact on oral conditions.

IntroductionNumerous orofacial conditions are associated with system-ic disease. The most serious problems of concern to dental professionals include caries, oral ulcers, mucosal erythema and sloughing, gingival bleeding and hypertrophy, soft tis-sue exophytic masses, dry mouth, facial pain, movement disorders, tooth abnormalities, abnormal dental wear, tooth/mucosal discoloration, developmental and bone pathology. This review focuses on the systemic conditions that may cause or contribute to the above oral problems.

CariesDental caries may be caused or aggravated by a number of systemic diseases via their impact on the three primary factors that are thought to contribute to dental caries: the presence of bacteria and biofilm known to cause caries, the availability of a consistent food source (e.g. sugar) for these bacteria, and oral hygiene. Other factors such as genetics (e.g. tooth development, matrix metalloproteinases) and the use of medications in the treatment of systemic disease (e.g. affect on salivation) may also play a role in the devel-opment of caries.

A very complex relationship exists between these factors with respect to caries initiation in both primary and adult teeth. It is known that any perturbation of the oral environ-ment can increase the potential for the development of dental caries. For example, in a study on the relationship between dental caries and nutritional status, snack foods, and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages in schoolchil-dren in Thailand, it was found that malnutrition as well as food intake habits at bedtime were significantly related to the development of dental caries in the primary dentition.1

In addition to malnutrition, other conditions impacting diet are also cited in the literature as associated with the development of caries. These include medical (e.g. diabetes) and psychological (e.g. drug abuse, bulimia, etc.) problems. The following subsections detail some of the specific sys-temic problems that are suspected of impacting the develop-ment of caries.

Diabetes In animal models, a number of studies suggest that rapid progressive caries is associated with chemically induced hyperglycemia.2,3 In contrast to the animal studies, at least one systematic review of the literature questions the scientific validity of a causative link between caries and diabetes in humans.4 The authors of this review suggest that because multiple studies report variable caries experiences between subjects with and without diabetes (e.g. increased, decreased, and similar experiences), that the evidence is, at present, insufficient to determine if a true risk-relationship actually exists in humans.

Drug AbuseMultiple studies have linked the abuse of drugs to the devel-opment of dental caries.5-8 The problem has been identified in many countries throughout the world.9-12

One of the drugs that has been most recently studied in relation to caries is methamphetamine.13 The street descrip-tion of ‘meth mouth’ is not without merit as this particular drug and its abuse appears to be associated with considerable tooth decay as well as other oral problems such as periodon-tal disease. Some evidence suggests that salivary pH may be the reason the drug contributes to dental caries.14

The abuse of narcotics and alcohol has also been associ-ated with an increased risk of caries. However, in at least one comparative study, alcohol abuse was less likely than ‘drug’ abuse to lead to the development of caries. The combination of alcohol and drug abuse (which included self-reported use of not only heroin and methadone but also cannabis, benzo-diazepines, and cocaine) led to the greatest caries risk (38% increased risk).15

The authors of this study speculate that the lower rate in persons abusing alcohol, and particularly those that drink beer may be related to the effect of increased fluoride con-sumption which is an ingredient in beer.

The caries risk from narcotics is not just related to street use. A recent case report describes the development of rampant caries from the abuse of oral transmucosal fen-tanyl citrate lozenges which are used for the oral manage-ment of breakthrough cancer pain.16 Presumably caries risk associated with drug use is behavioral in nature and relates to neglect of oral hygiene.

Smokeless tobacco use has also been linked to dental caries, specifically root caries.17 With respect to cannabis use, one study found that subjects using this drug exces-sively had significantly greater smooth surface caries than controls. The authors speculate that this was related to the drugs effect on salivation (hyposalivation during use) and on subsequent post-smoking sugar intake (from the ‘munchies’).18

In addition, as noted previously, any medication that reduces salivation has the potential to increase the risk of caries, particularly if it is used over a prolonged period of time.19 However, other than anecdotes, there is little docu-mented research assessing the link between the commonly used drugs that cause xerostomia and caries progression. In one animal study chronic administration of clonidine20 and propranolol21 was found to increase caries in rats. Other drugs causing dry mouth that are utilized by patients that could cause caries include antihistamines, anti-depressants such as Elavil® (amitriptyline), Asendin® (amoxapine), Anafranil® (clomipramine), Remeron® (mirtazapine) and Aventyl® or Pamelor® (nortriptline), and Detrol® which is commonly used to treat incontinence.

Bulimia and AnorexiaBulimia, a condition associated with repeated vomiting, has been connected to the development of dental caries in both men and women.22 This is presumed to be related to the fact that patients who chronically vomit, bathe their teeth in stomach acid during this purging behavior. In addition to bulimia, anorexia is another psychological condition that may include vomiting and has also been associated with an increase in dental caries.

However in a recent systematic review of the literature assessing the orofacial manifestations of these conditions, including caries, the authors suggest that the development of caries in patients with eating disorders may not be an automatic sequalae of these abnormalities.23

Nonetheless, in otherwise healthy patients with good oral hygiene but with unusual smooth surface lesions or rampant caries, eating disorders should be considered as a potential cause of the disease. Caries activity in this group of patients may also be confounded by general diet and oral hygiene as well as salivary gland disturbance.

Medical Conditions Reducing Hygiene BehaviorAny medical condition that contributes to a reduction in oral hygiene can increase the potential for the development

of dental caries. Diseases which reduce coordination, limit cognitive activity, or involve significant physical or mental disability have the potential to facilitate dental disease, including caries, and subsequent tooth loss.24 Finally, there is limited evidence that genetic factors such as a mutant allele for MMP13 (one of the genes that is responsible for producing a matrix metalloproteinase) may contribute in some manner to the etiology of dental caries.25

Oral UlcersThe systemic conditions that can cause oral ulceration include infection (e.g. syphilis,26, 27 tuberculosis,28 HIV/AIDS,29,30 viral infection including herpangina and primary herpetic stomatitis including herpes simplex virus causal-ity (HSV-1 or 2),31 candida and other fungal organisms (e.g. mucormycosis or histoplasmosis,32-35 autoimmune disease (e.g. lupus,36,37 pemphigus and paraneoplastic pem-phigus,38,39 lichen planus,40 inflammatory bowel disease,41

thyroid disease,44 malignancy/haematologic disease,45,46 cyclic neutropenia,47 allergy and other drug reactions,48-50 and vascular inflammatory disease.51 Oral ulceration may also be associated with organ transplants and the medica-tions used to manage rejection or treat other diseases (e.g. thyroid disease),52 liver transplant,53 or renal transplant.54 Nutritional deficiencies are also associated with intraoral ulceration.55,56 Oral ulceration has also been reported with hypogammaglobulinemia.57

Generally the clinical presentation of oral ulcers is not specific enough to allow identification of the underlying pa-thology in cases involving systemic disease. There are, how-ever, several clinical features that may be helpful in guiding the clinician with respect to the differential diagnosis in these cases. These include ulcer location, duration, reoccurrence, depth, number, size, scarring, and non-healing.

Lesion LocationLesions associated with primary herpetic stomatits occur not only on the intraoral mucosa of the cheek, tongue, pal-ate, and posterior pharynx, but also on the attached gingiva. This is not a typical presentation that is associated with most other oral ulcerative diseases and thus can be used to help differentiate between non-viral and viral etiology.

Lesion DurationViral lesions and aphthous ulcers typically persist for 10-14 days and heal with complete resolution. In contrast, lesions associated with Behcet’s disease may persist for up to four to six weeks. Ulcers related to underlying neoplasm, a compro-mised immune system, or nutritional deficiency persist for a much longer period of time.

Lesion ReoccurrenceUlceration reoccurring on the attached gingiva is likely to represent secondary (or reoccurring) HSV-1 or HSV-2.

Lesion DepthDeep cratering of the oral mucosa is typical of the ulcers associated with Behcet’s disease and HIV/AIDS. However, lesions associated with major aphthous, tuberculosis and syphilis may also be relatively deep. Deep tongue lesions may also be associated with amyloidosis58 and malignancy.

Number of LesionsMultiple ulcers clustered throughout the mouth suggest vi-ral etiology (e.g. herpes zoster, primary herpetic stomatitis, or herpangina).

The Size of the LesionLarge (>1cm or greater) oral ulcers are most typically seen with erythema multiforma, allergy, benign mucous mem-brane pemphigoid (BMMP) disease, pemphigus vulgaris, erosive lichen planus, radiation mucositis or mucositis associated with chemotherapy and lesions associated with severe immunosuppression or uremic stomatits. Large lesions are not typically observed with viral infection al-though sometimes small lesions will coalesce to form larger ulcers.59

Post lesion scarringUlceration occurring with Bechet’s disease occurs with post-healing scarring. Typically patients with this condition will have areas of mucosa that are scarred from past episodes.

Non-healing ulcersThese are most commonly found with malignancy.

Gingival Bleeding, Hyperplasia, Discoloration

Gingival BleedingSystemic conditions that can cause gingival bleeding include some of those that also cause ulceration such as benign mucous membrane pemphigoid (BMMP), pem-phigus, lupus erythematosis, leukemia, and erythema mul-tiforme. Other conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes,60 Crohn’s disease (which can cause gingival hyperplasia as well as erythema and bleeding),61 and idiopathic thrombo-cytopenia62,63 have also been linked to gingival bleeding.

In addition to the above, what is termed hormonal gingivitis, a condition that can occur with pregnancy or disease associated with pregnancy, can also cause general-ized gingival erythema and bleeding.64-66

Several medications utilized in the management of a number of systemic conditions can cause gingival erythema and bleeding. These include: Trileptal®,68 anticoagulant drugs such as Coumadin®, warfarin or heparin and chemo-therapeutic agents such as methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil. A complete list of the chemotherapy agents that can cause mucositis and gingival as well as mucosal bleeding can be found at: http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/

oral-side-effects-of-medications?page=2. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin may also cause gingival bleeding if used over a prolonged period of time. A number of herbal medicines may interact with non-herbal medications (e.g. the anticoagulants) to increase the po-tential for gingival bleeding including ginkgo biloba, dong quai, and danshen.69 Other herbal preparations associated with gingival bleeding include ginger, ginseng, garlic, and papaya.70

Gingival HyperplasiaSpecific classes of drugs including the immunosuppressants, calcium channel blockers, and anticonvulsants that are used in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions can induce gingival hyperplasia.71, 72 The medications most frequently cited as problematic for abnormal gingival growth include;73 immunosuppressants, calcium channel blockers, and anti-epileptic drugs.

Gingival DiscolorationGingival discoloration (other than erythema) may be a sign of Addison’s disease (primary hypoadrenocorticism), silver poisoning, primary or metastatic malignancy (melanoma), Kaposi’s sarcoma (with or without associated AIDS), hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (lip lesions).

Intraoral Soft Tissue TumorsGeneral medical conditions that can cause intraoral soft tissue tumors include parathyroid disease (e.g. primary hyperparathyroidism or hyperparathyroidism secondary to an adenoma or carcinoma of a parathyroid gland - Brown’s tumor), malignant acanthosis nigricans (hyperplastic, peb-bly lesions on the lips), immunosuppression (squamous papillomas), metastatic neoplasms (typically from the breast, prostate, thyroid, lung), amyloidosis secondary to multiple myeloma (pebbly lesions of the lip and cheek).

Some of the other systemic conditions that can cause single or multiple exophytic papules, tissue enlargement, or other growths include; chronic granulomatous disease (Crohn’s disease) (which results in granulomatous gingival enlargement, cobblestone or corrugated labial mucosa), lymphoma, syphilis (ulcer plus atypical clinical presenta-tions in AIDS), end stage kidney disease with dialysis (causes furred tongue); lymphangioma (results in a pebbly mucosal surface).74-88

Dry MouthAny systemic disease that affects the major or minor sali-vary glands via direct disease involvement or secondarily as a consequence of medication use, radiation, or surgical trauma can cause dry mouth or xerostomia. Those systemic conditions capable of impacting the salivary glands in-clude:89-93 Sjogren’s disease, chronic renal failure (CRF),

Page 5: Oral Manifestations of Systemic Disease · systemic disease and various oral conditions. 2. Identify the different oral manifestations associated with specific systemic diseases.

other autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, seronega-tive spondyloarthritis, connective tissue disease, systemic lupus erythematosis), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, HIV/AIDS, psychological problems (anxiety disorders and depression), stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, anemia, cystic fibrosis, and other conditions such as head trauma with nerve damage and chemo or radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

Classes of medications used to treat systemic diseases capable of causing dry mouth include:94 antihistamines, an-tipsychotics, diuretics, chemotherapeutic agents, migraine medications, anticholinergic/antispasmodic agents, antidi-arrhetics, analgesics – antinflammatory type, narcotic anal-gesics, anti-acne, anti-anxiety medications, anticonvulsants, antihypertensives, anti-nausea and anti-emetic medications, anti-parkinsonian drugs, bronchodilators, muscle relaxants, and other drugs such as cannabis.

Dry mouth can occur as a secondary effect of treatment in patients using C-pap for sleep apnea and consequent to the use of COPD inhalers.95

Orofacial PainPain in the region of the mouth and face may be caused by a number of systemic problems. It is not within the purview of this course to extensively review the clinical pain characteristics of the following conditions. How-ever several references are listed for additional review.96,

97 Below are several systemic conditions that can cause orofacial pain:

Cardiac disease (e.g. myocardial infarction, angina)

Thyroid disease (e.g. thyroiditis)

Sinus disease (e.g. acute and chronic sinusitis)

Autoimmune disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, sclero-derma)

Secondary trigeminal neuralgia (e.g. from tumors such as me-ningioma, epidermoid tumor, acoustic neurinoma, metastatic tumor, brain stem glioma; vascular lesions such as basilar artery or cavernous sinus aneurysm; connective disease such as scleroderma; Paget’s disease; syphilis; or toxins; MS)

Craniofacial pain of musculoskeletal origin (e.g. TMD, TMJ osteoarthritis, bone infection or primary or metastatic tumor)

Infection (e.g. otitis media, infection secondary to immuno-suppression)

Sickle cell disease (sickle cell arthropathy)

Vascular inflammatory conditions (e.g. giant cell arteritis, temporal arteritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)

Psychological abnormality (e.g. somatoform disorder, pain of psychological origin in the head or face)

Medication neurotoxicity (e.g. vincristine)

Suboccipital or cervical nerve or muscle problems

Diabetes

Jaw movement disordersJaw movement can be altered by several medical conditions affecting the musculature, nervous system, vascular system, or the bones of the cranium or mandible. Movement disor-ders include opening stiffness, opening difficulty, painful movement, and unintentional movement. The conditions that should be considered in the differential diagnosis relat-ed to systemic disease for the above jaw movement problems are listed below.98-102

Jaw opening stiffness Jaw opening stiffness can be caused by scleroderma, fibro-myalgia, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Opening difficultyDifficulty in opening the jaw may result from infection (in-cluding the cephalic form of tetanus), poisoning, neurologic disease, psychogenic abnormality, tumor, substance abuse, dystonia, radiation induced trismus, ‘locked-in’ syndrome, brain stem lesions, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Painful jaw movementMovement of the jaw may be limited by fibromyalgia, teta-nus, tumor, and dystonia associated with Behcet’s disease.

Intermittent unintentional movementAdditional jaw movement abnormality including intermit-tent unintentional movement can result from Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, dystonia, nocturnal paroxysmal dysto-nia, serotonin syndrome, and substance abuse.

Tooth Morphologic AbnormalityDental problems associated with systemic disease include excessive tooth wear (from bulimia, anorexia, neurologic disease, psychological problems, genetic disorders),114-120 de-velopmental (genetic) abnormalities causing malformed or excessive or impacted teeth, discoloration (from medication use), and tooth root resorption (bulimia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, excessive soft drink consumption associated with obesity, diabetes, drug abuse, salivary gland agenesis, and high blood pressure).103-113

Tooth and Mucosal Discoloration

Dental discolorationDental discoloration can arise from the treatment of sys-temic infection with tetracycline and tetracycline-derived broad spectrum antibiotics. The result is permanent if the drugs are used during development of the teeth and bone as they are incorporated into the dental and enamel structure. Tissues affected include the teeth, bone, and car-tilage. Both primary and permanent teeth are susceptible to discoloration which can range from grey to brown or be yellow. Minocycline hydrochloride application during

growth and development of bone leads to black or green tooth roots and a blue-gray darkening of the crowns of the permanent teeth. Staining may also occur in erupted per-manent teeth from minocycline and within the mucosa of the palate.121-124

Environmental exposure to a number of elements has also been associated with discoloration of teeth. These include silver, iron, and manganese which stain black; mercury and lead dust which stains the teeth blue-green; copper and nickel stain blue to blue/green, and chromic acid which can stain the teeth deep orange.125, 126 Excessive fluoride during development tends to mottle the color of enamel.127 In addition to the above causes of tooth dis-coloration, neonatal sepsis has also been associated with emergence of ‘green teeth’.128

Mucosal discolorationMucosal discoloration can be indicative of systemic disease. A large number of conditions can cause varying types of mucosal discoloration. The following are systemic problems that are known to cause mucosal discoloration and the specific type of discoloration that has been de-scribed for each condition.129-131 Minocycline is associated with a palatal ring. Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is associated with multiple red lesions within the mucosa, Addison’s disease results in hyperpigmentation of the mucosa, melanoma re-sults in a diffuse or more discrete solitary blue black tissue, thrombocytopenic purpura/leukemia and hemophilia are characterized by mucosal petechiae, pernicious anemia causes tongue discoloration, infection (such as infectious mononucleosis) is associated with petechiae on the palate.

Generalized redness of the oral mucosa is associated with a number of systemic diseases including: pemphigus, erosive lichen planus, radiation necrosis, mucositis, candi-dosis secondary to immunosuppression, allergy, erythema multiforme, polycythemia, Crohn’s disease, epidermoly-sis bullosa, viral infection, leukemia, uremic stomatitis, and vitamin B deficiency

Bone PathologyRadiolucencies associated with the pericoronal or follicular spaces adjacent to the teeth are not uncommon. However systemic disease that can cause this type of bone loss is rare. Those conditions that have been linked to lesions associated with unerupted teeth include Ewing’s sarcoma, histiocytosis X, pseudotumor of hemophilia, and salivary gland tumors. The diseases that can cause unilocular or multilocular radiolucency or radiolucency in the maxilla or mandible not linked to the dentition include metastatic carcinoma, giant cell tumor resulting from hyperparathy-roid disease or neurofibromatosis type 1, Burkitt’s lym-phoma, chondrosarcoma, eosinophilic granuloma, fibrous dysplasia, cherubism, Ewing’s sarcoma, Langerhan’s cell disease (idiopathic histiocytosis), malignant lymphoma of

bone, multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma, neurosarcoma, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and scleroderma.

For a complete review of disease that can cause bone pathology the reader is referred to the authoritarian texts that are provided as references.

The differential diagnosis is refined clinically by the patient’s gender, age, predominant jaw and region of the jaw where the lesion is located, the type of lesion (unilocu-lar or multilocular) and the configuration of the lesion’s borders (e.g. well defined or diffuse/ill-defined), the pa-tient’s symptom history (e.g. presence or absence of pain, dyesthesia/paresthesia,), and examination findings (e.g. localized swelling, gingival involvement, tooth mobility, tooth vitality). Other important considerations include serum chemistries, general symptoms, and bone biopsy.

Another condition involving the jaw bones is osteone-crosis caused by the use of bisphosphonates as treatment for advanced forms of cancer.133 Bone resorption of the mandibular angle has been associated with progressive systemic sclerosis. A generalized rarefaction of the jaw bones may also result from nutritional abnormality such as calcium deficiency (causing osteomalacia or ‘rickets’) or vi-tamin C deficiency as well as the hereditary hemolytic ane-mias such as thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. Leukemia can also cause rarefaction of the skull and jaw ramus. In the early stages of Paget’s disease (osteitis deformans) rarefac-tion and bone resorption are associated with radiographic radiolucency and in the later stage when there is fibrous deposition the bones take on a ‘cotton-wool’ appearance when viewed radiographically.

The temporomandibular joints may be affected by con-nective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and arthritis associ-ated with lupus as well as systemic cancer with metastasis. Gout may also affect the TMJ. Dermatomyositis has been reported to be associated with condylar resorption.141-146

ConclusionThe effect of systemic health on oral disease is well docu-mented and includes soft and hard tissue abnormality and pathology. The diagnosis of oral pathology by dental professionals may contribute towards the discovery of sys-temic disease. Regardless of which way the arrow points, the complexity of management of oral disease associated with systemic disease is likely to be confounded by the connec-tion between the two and successful management warrants an understanding of both problems.
